Geobase Canada provides a spec that helps understanding these filenames (I've been there few years ago but don't remember the details). Actually, in order to translate elevation raster into TerraGear work directories you're required to have files in SRTM HGT format (for use with 'hgtchop'). Development has started months ago to build a 'gdalchop' which, as the name says, is using the GDAL library to read almost every elevation raster file format under the sun (including HGT), thus serving as a much more versatile replacement for 'hgtchop'. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, this 'gdalchop' was never released into the public and I'm unable to tell how long it takes until it's ready for general consumption. So, if you're in hurry, try to find HGT files or a tool that allows to translate into HGT, otherwise .... let's see.
