[Dhsvm-users] Converting binary to ascii In DHSVM

[Piotr Kuras]

Hello,

I have generated three optional output files (images) in DHSVM which display the water table depth, travel time and snow water equivalent.  The files are in .bin format, and I would like to convert them to ascii so I can display them in GIS.

For converting ascii to binary, I have been using the convert.exe application from DHSVM using a ms-dos batch file.  In the ms-dos batch file I would normally write the command:

convert ascii uchar input_file.asc out_file.bin #rows #columns

I'm not sure if I can convert the other way (binary to ascii using the same convert.exe file) and if I can does anyone know what command to use? or does someone have a different application for this purpose.

Your help would be much appreciated, thank you,

Pete Kuras
