hdr_convert - Convert hardware configuration of NIMS HDR file
HDR_CONVERT converts the object data in a NIMS HDR file to the
specified output hardware architecture.  The specific platforms
mentioned can be specified or the generic types can be used if the
user knows the architecture of the desired platform.

The TAE parameter FROMFORM and TOFORM are provided so the input/output
platforms can be selected.  HDR_CONVERT will only work on standard
ISIS NIMS HDR files.

The label information for each object will remain intact with no
modifications.


PROGRAMMER: Debbie A. Cook, USGS, Flagstaff, AZ

ParmDescriptionDefault
FROM
Input HDR file name
  (no default extension)
NONE
TO
Output HDR file name
  (no default extension)
NONE
FROMFORM
The type of hardware the input
cube is to conform to.
Supported hardware types are:
HOST
SUN   (MSB_IEEE)

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

ParmDescription
FROM
The input HDR file that is to be converted.
TO
The output HDR file created by HDR_CONVERT.  If the file
extension is omitted, then ".hdr" is assumed.
FROMFORM
This parameter specifies the type of hardware the input
cube is to conform to.  The supported hardware architectures
are MSB and LSB byte storage orders and VAX and IEEE
floating point.  Some specific platforms names are provided
and can be used.  If the architecture is known and the
specific platform name is not provided as an available
option, use one of the generic names.  The value of "HOST"
will always refer to the platform on which HDR_CONVERT is
executing.
PLATFORM
This parameter specifies the type of hardware the output
cube is to conform to.  The supported hardware architectures
are MSB and LSB byte storage orders and VAX and IEEE
floating point.  Some specific platforms names are provided
and can be used.  If the architecture is known and the
specific platform name is not provided as an available
option, use one of the generic names.  The value of "HOST"
will always refer to the platform on which HDR_CONVERT is
executing.
