[GRASSLIST:7868] problems importing SRTM30plus files

[Carlos Guâno Grohmann]

Hello all, I'm trying to import some SRTM30plus (30 arcsec) data I get from
	http://topex.ucsd.edu/WWW_html/srtm30_plus.html
whitch have both land and ocean data,

but things are strange. r.in.gdal say the format is no recognised, and
r.in.bin can import, but the data range goes from
min=-32768
max=32767

what am I doing wrong?

thanks in advance
