+/**  convertMap.h
+Functions for converting  from one Map form to another 
+and extracting smaller maps. There are four polymorphic
+functions.   The general format is
+
+convertMap(MapType * source,MapType * target, Point ul, Point lr)
+
+MapTypes can be - BitMap, RLEMap, or VRLEMap
+source - the map to be converted from
+target - The map to be converted to.  Memory will be allocated
+         for target's contents. 
+ul and lr mark a range to copy.   If either are the global var NOPNT,
+the entire map will  be copied.
+
+Functions return a MapStatus which will be VALID or OTHERERROR
+if there was an error in the conversion.  An error might be due
+to a user specifying an out of range ul and lr.
