than partitioned
(removable hard drive) DOS FAT 16 file systems on MOD, and
Windows NT doesn't

- DICOM software - Sébastien Barré's dicom2
convertor/viewer:
dicom2 is a simple command-line driven program which allows you
to convert images from the DICOM file format to various other
formats, while optionally performing some rudimentary image
processing tasks:
- reads non-encapsulated syntax of DICOM file, or raw data-sets
(ACR/NEMA).
- converts to BMP, TARGA, raw, text, DICOM. - renames
destination files using user-defined pattern based on
DICOM tags (ex: image time, number, acquisition, patient name,
rank of the file, etc.).
- accumulates set of files into one image (to generate masks).
- implements some image processing functions:
masking, cropping, halving, flipping, windowing.

- in UK:
UK registered companies already have a registration number, and
appending this to "1.2.826.0.n" gives a unique root, where n
depends on where in the UK one is:
If the company registration number is XYZ, then the UID root is
- "1.2.826.0.1.XYZ" - England and Wales - "1.2.826.0.2.XYZ" -
Scotland - "1.2.826.0.3.XYZ" - Northern Ireland

Dave Harvey (in the UK) has kindly offered to sub-delegate
ranges of his own root to anyone who needs one. See his web
page at:

- Free (anywhere):
To use SNMP one needs an Enterpise UID assigned by IANA, which
is free
and may also be used for any other purpose that
requires a UID root.
