Hi - see http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/bet2/ If you have t1 and t2, you can just use betall - to get usage just type "betall". If you have just t1 you can use betsurf with the second set of options when you just type "betsurf". Hopefully this is clear - if not, you might be interested in the first 5 or 6 sections of the unix intro: http://www.isu.edu/departments/comcom/unix/workshop/unixindex.html Cheers, Steve.
