Heh - I wish I'd found that a couple of weeks ago :-)

I couldn't find anything that could convert hgt files so I hacked a 
quick java program to convert hgt to pgm. All my program needed to do 
was add the PGM header as otherwise the formats are the same.

It would have been fairly quick but it turned out that POV-Ray is very 
fussy about what type of whitespaces you use in the pgm header gah.
Pov seems to expect you to use newlines everywhere except between the 
width and height (where you should use a space), but I didn't know this 
so at first I just used spaces everywhere.

Sorry 'bout that, I'm just a few weeks behind, but stay tuned I catch up
quickly.

I could have used it several *years* ago (August 2004 according to my bookmark).

Now I've forgotten what I needed it for. :-(

This happens several times per day.

This is supposedly the top-rated Internet service in the Virgin Islands.

Something is very wrong.)

Use a real newsreader instead of the web interface. Then posts stay
in "Outbox" until your Internet comes back.
