There may be a free entree in that AV2 will read imagery, so surely 
this applies to AV1 as well ???.
r.out.tiff is the simplest way to go. Can't remember off-hand whether AV2 is 
fussy about compression and colourtable options. Given that AV1 is really 
just a map viewer, lack of registration and/or a vector data structure may not 
be as great a handicap as it would be in AV2 or ARC.
