[3dem] 64bit MRC conversion

[Henning Stahlberg]

Hi,

MRC formats are described here:
http://ami.scripps.edu/prtl_data/mrc_specification.htm

and we mirrored that page on 2dx.org, here:
http://www.2dx.unibas.ch/documentation/mrc-software/mrc-documentation

The MRC program mrc2tif can do some conversions. 

Alternatively, bsoft 
http://lsbr.niams.nih.gov/bsoft/
http://lsbr.niams.nih.gov/bsoft/programs/bconvert.html

or EM2EM can do conversions also.
