  Problem DEM2POV/DEM2TGA?  
From: STUDENT

Message: <35371959.29D1B861@student.canberra.edu.au>
I have been trying to use DEM data for Eastern Australia found at
http://edcwww.cr.usgs.gov/landdaac/gtopo30/gtopo30.html.  Unfortunately
all
the dem2tga & dem2pov converter's do not seem to like it.

Would anyone be able to:
a) direct me to alternate data for this region which does work,
b) direct me to a converter that will work, or
c) tell me where I am going wrong. Below is a summary of the process I
am now
using and the error messages. (It appears the DEM file type is
unsuitable?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Roger.

1) Download e140s10.tar.
2) Use dos TAR extraction utility called untgz (by Tillmann Steinbrecher
found at
http://www.isjm.com/tst/untgz.htm) to extract *.dem file.
3)Use dem2tga (by Jon Larimer at http://www.alltel.net/~jonl/dem.html)
and get the following ouput:

D:\temp\dem2tga>dem2tga e140s10.dem my.tga
dem2tga v1.0 (c) 1997 Jon Larimer

5)I have tried the DEM2POV utility found at The Povray HomePage.
It causes a gpf after the following output.

D:\temp\dem2pov>dem2pov e140s10.dem my.tga
