[GRASS-user] reading landsat 2 images

Hi:

I have to read old landsat-2 image files. They come as a 1 BIL file with
3600 cols and 2945 rows, but the total size is 34564320 bytes (I think
it has a header and may be some of the bands are compressed because they
have less than 8 bits radiometric resolution.

Does anyone know any program that can read it and convert to anything
gdal could deal with?

Thanks in advance

Some documentation about this type of file is at

http://eros.usgs.gov/guides/landsat_tm.html

ERDAS free viewfinder software might be able to read and convert it,

Or even maybe imagemajick.
