[OZAPRS] Xastir File Conversion

[Norm VK3XCI]

G'day Ross,

There are others more expert than I on the subject and they will show up 
here eventually.

Maps in *.ecw format are, I'm afraid a no-go. Maps in .gif, .jpg etc can 
be converted with one caveat... you need to have the ImageMagic or 
equivalent package installed. The script uses it to get some info from 
the header of the graphics file.

Having said that, I've successfully converted UIVIEW maps with no 
problem, after I sorted the afore mentioned dependency.

I'm in the Windows box at the moment so can't get to the relevant info, 
tho I daresay some more useful info will pop up here
