I recently imported an ERDAS 7.3 file (created by Multispec, a remote
sensing package for Macintrashes) into GRASS. Here's what I did:
 
% mkdir $LOCATION/erdas
% mv flc1 $LOCATION/erdas
% dd if=$LOCATION/erdas/flc1 of=$LOCATION/erdas/stripped ibs=128 skip=1
% cd $LOCATION/erdas
% i.tape.other # using $LOCATION/erdas/stripped as input, with no
               # extra skips made.

This worked perfectly.  I couldn't get the *in.erdas command(s?) to work
nor could I get i.tape.other to skip over the header (not sure why,
though).
