calibrating several maps in fugawi

Hello,
I have some 100 small rectangular maps (scanned bitmap files) together
with the coordinates of their corners. Is there a way how I can
calibrate these maps for Fugawi without typing 3*100*2 coordinates? For
example, is one of Fugawis supported file formats documented, so that
some sort of script exists that reads in one bitmap after the other
together with the corresponding coordinates and ouputs each calibrated
map?

It is no option to combine all tiles in a large bitmap (so that I'd
have to calibrate only once), because the bitmap size would become too
large to be used on a PocketPC. Or does Fugawi have an option to split
a large map into small tiles?

Looking forward to some hints
Arno

Get typing. At least it works for you.=20
I haveto remove all of my third party programs or hot sync of Fugawi on my TX f=
ails as they have crummy error recovery. I have not found which of my MANY app=
lications is not compatible so I reset, install Fugawi, add the maps, save to c=
ard and restore my TX !

I found that Fugawi can import the (well documented) geotiff format.

Can someone explain if (and how) I can convert a TIFF image of a map
(Mercator projection) together with the lat/lon of the four corners
into a geotiff image, preferably with a commandline tool under Linux.

If there is no such tool, do you know of a simplified description of
the geotiff format that contains just sufficient information to do this
and doesn't go into all other details?

Thanks
Arno
