[Talk-GB] OS LandForm Panorama (contour data) parsing tools?

[Thomas Wood]

I was experimenting a while ago. I believe I found that opensourced GIS 
could convert the DXF formats to various others.

I think I played about a little with ogr2ogr (or whatever the vector 
part of that package is), Grass and QGis with varied results - my issue 
was more of not knowing what I wanted to do with the contour data more 
than anything else.
