I've pulled some datasets from

http://www.mrlc.gov/nlcd06_data.php

and after unzipping it appears they are  *.ige  files.  Is there any simple
way to translate these into  Gtiff or some format
that is R (raster)  friendly.  I have FWtools  but gdal_translate built
with that package doesnt like the file format  *ige.
