Hello,

I have a big problem.   I have been sent a lot of DTED data, extention =
.dt1, also some .cov files.   I have since found out that this is U. S. =
Department of Defense Digital Terrain Elevation Data, which is some sort =
of three dimensional spacial data.  I have no idea how I am supposed to =
convert this data or get it to work with the mapserver.  Currently this =
does not look good, and I am under a lot of pressure from my work to =
produce something with it.

Currently I need the data to work in Mapserver.   I also have Mapinfo =
professional 6.5 which I could perhaps use for something, but it does =
not seem to support .dt1 data.  If there is a way to convert this data =
to tab or shape files, or for mapserver to work with it directly, then I =
would be very very very happy.

Can anyone help ??

Thanks,

James.
