I recently downloaded a NED 1/3 elevation Geotiff file from the USGS
SDDS (Seamless...).  The Geotiff has 32 bit/sample according to
tiffinfo, but I can't find anything simple (on Linux) which will read
this file or convert it to an 8 bit/sample file.  Any ideas?  Any
reason why USGS would distribute such a format?  Thanks.
