You run inf2geo.pl against them.  Can't recall whether you can
specify multiple files on the command line, but you might be able
to.

Try "inf2geo.pl *.inf" to see if it works.  It's a Perl script so
you must have Perl installed.  It should be in your xastir/scripts
directory and should have been installed in /usr/local/lib/xastir as
well.

Oh yea, it depends on at least one ImageMagick tool to do it's job,
so you need that installed as well.
