Dear all

I have a terrific max-entropy, 3 arc second res., radio image of CasA 
which I originally converted to FITS using MIDAS (Munich Image Data 
Analysis System). Now I want to convert it to pgm or raw so that I can 
view it under X. The problem is its in double format, ie 4 bytes per 
pixel. I tried fitstopgm but it didn't like it. Any suggestions...

	regards
