Do you have a smallish GIF and .map file you could send me?  We have
a conversion script for converting .INF files to .GEO.  If the
format wasn't too strange for the .map file, that'd be an easy
script to modify for this purpose.

These maps have to be true north-up and rectangular, and not much
distortion in them, as we only use two tiepoints in Xastir.
Hopefully this is a good match with the maps you have.
