For the archive; I tried all four possibilities, but *.ozfx3 is not supported by IM or GM. Eventually, I found a (windows) program to convert the *.ozfx3 files to *.png.  

Then I ran the line below to generate the geo files:
for i in `ls *.map`; do printf "$i\n"; ./ozi2geo $i; done

The script below changes to geo file such that it works ;-)
for i in `ls *.geo`; do printf "$i\n"; perl -i -pe 's/ Rijksdriehoeksmeting/.png/g' $i; done

Afterwards, the *.ozfx3 and *.map files can be deleted.
