Help importing TM imagery

Could someone point me in the right direction. I have some LANDSAT TM
imagery as *.bip files with *.hdr files already projected to UTM coords.
I see modules like i.tape.tm, but these are in the file system already
and I'd rather not have to create a temporary x,y LOCATION to import
them.

Thanks

Dear GRASS community,
                                                                                
am I right that the last GRASS user's conference
was 1996 at Santa Fe, New Mexico?
                                                                                
http://ncgia.ncgia.ucsb.edu:80/conf/SANTA_FE_CD-ROM/program.html
                                                                                
(at least there were lots of GRASS related papers published).
                                                                                
The forthcoming planned user conference, would that be
10th or 11th?
                                                                                
The latest conference I know was 9th in 1994 at Reston.
                                                                                
Further information on the planned conference shall follow
soon.
                                                                                
Regards
