An XTF to ASCII conversion tool would be most welcome; we use Knudsen 3.5 kHz
sounders quite a bit for sub-bottom profiling, and you're pretty much stuck
working in Knudsen GUI to convert/process the data.
I work with MBSystems quite a bit; I think any sort of integration with Grass
would be a great idea, and would be willing to test/bugcheck/document any new
modules developed for it (sorry, can't contribute coding...yet).
I didn't realize the WIKI for Marine Geoscience existed...I'll try to think
about any issues I've come across and post to it.
