I took a very brief look at the TerraGear source code and it seems hardwired 
to GTOPO DEMs. I could only find raw2ascii for converting DEMs to the 
proprietry TG format. Maybe Curt could tell us how he uses other formats.

It would be really easy to write a converter for something like BIL. (plain 
jane binary interleaved line format)
The ultimate solution would be to use the gdal library for the import and then 
write the data out in our proprietry ascii format. Then nearly any DEM format 
could be used.
