The National Center for Supercomputing Applications has developed
a reformatting program called (can you guess...) "Reformat".
Reformat uses an X window interface and will allow you to convert
convert TIFF, FITS, GIF, X window dumps, Sun raster, and raw raster 
to HDF.  Once the image is in HDF format, you can then look at it using 
NCSA X Image.  With X Image, you can display the image, create contours,
create 8 level graylevel bitmaps, histograms, profile plots, manipulate
the color map, or animate sequences of images in memory or from disk.

You can pick up this stuff from NCSA's anon ftp server 
ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu (128.174.20.50).  XImage executables for various platforms
are provided on the server as well as source.
