Bov2Jpeg

The AstroBEAR repository comes with the source for another program called bov2jpeg which can convert bov files to jpeg images. It uses the ImageObject and the various io modules in AstroBEAR to load a bov file, and create a .ppm image file and then it calls the system command 'convert' which assumes that ImageMagick's convert is installed. It will probably break if you take run it on a little/big endian machine when the bov/dat files were produced on a big/little endian machine.
