EM Image Format Convertor

Empgm is a simple tool for converting images from various electron microscopy formats to the standard 'pgm' format. This format is supported by most image viewing and editing programs including 'xv' and the popular 'netppm' package.Currently it will read 'MRC', 'IMAGIC' and 'ScansALot' files. Images can optionally be fourier transformed (within empgm). More image processing features will be added in later versions.
This program is actually a subset of 'emtool', a graphical program for analysis of electron microscopy data.
