[Xastir] USGS DRG files no longer free..

Well Im finding plenty of locations now to grab the various formats of
files but none of them work with Xastir.

For example:

http://kymartian.ky.gov/

They have DEMS, shapefiles, and the various DMG files for all of Kentucky
but Xastir is unable to map any of them, including the shapefiles. I've
tried various conversion tools but nothing seems to do it. Granted I've
only been playing with this kind of stuff for a couple days.

I also tried grabbing some tif files from the Ohio branch and theirs are
in the same format as the ones in kentucky. Im guessing Xastir just doesnt
understand that format....or....somebody hasnt written up a 'howto get it
to work' section of the README.MAPS. The documentation on the
Ohio/Kentucky websites shows they are in the right format (NAD83, etc)

Im stumped...

ps: It looks like nobody is carrying the USGS files in their original
filename format so the fgd conversion tool in contribs isnt exactly useful
unless you go buy the CD ;)
