[Gdal-dev] Do I need to write adriver with that?

[Oliver Eichler]

Hi,

I like to convert some raster map data from a proprietary format to something more open minded. Browsing the GDAL API doc it looks like I have to write a driver to do so. If I understood the tutorial correctly, I have to patch the GDAL lib to do so. Isn't there an easier way to copy the image data / color table to some GDAL structure and to save it in what ever format GDAL supports?
