The problem with DEM files is that there are many different formats
around...most converters (so is mine at
http://www.bielefeld.netsurf.de:8080/~u_mueller/dem2pov.html) work only
on data which includes the DEM header in the file with the DEM data and
is in ascii format...

The files you get from the above address are not in this format...the
header data is in different files...and I know of no program that can
convert these...

  See ya
