I know the 'convert' program from ImageMagick but this does only convert 8 bit grayscale or 3x8 bit RGB files. Input file description: Simple uncompressed binary data stream from a CCD. pixel organization on CCD: ,----------, | yz012345 | | qrstuvwx | | ijklmnop | | abcdefgh | '----------' and written into raw data file: ,----------------------------------, | abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz012345 | '----------------------------------' one pixel data: - 16 bit (or less) unsigned short Intel (little endian) or Motorola (big endian) syntax. The program should run under Linux. Does someone already know a little program that does this job? If not I would write a Perl script for this.

You might try grabbing the "XVista" suite from my WWW pages: http://a188-L009.rit.edu/tass/software/xvista/index.html It builds under Linux, and includes a program called "convert" which probably does the task you request.

It is the first general release, i.e. designed for the user/researcher. The user interface has been simplified so that files in several different formats can be read in easily from your local machine or from the Web. In addition, data can be subset or subsampled on load, making it possible to visualize large datasets. There are also several new display and analysis tools available. Documentation is available (either on-line or via download) which includes a number of step-by-step examples. WebWinds has been tested on several Unix, Windows (95/NT) and Mac platforms but should run on any platform (e.g. DEC Alpha) which supports Java JDK 1.1.6. We would appreciate feedback from you, especially with regard to major, repeatable crashes or features that do not work as well as success stories. To download a copy of this release, go to http://webwinds.jpl.nasa.gov. Regards, Lee Elson (818) 354-4223 elson at magus.jpl.nasa.gov
