Hello Bruce, 

I wanted to confirm if this is the right script when converting from one format to another using mri_convert (if i want to use orig.mgz as template volume):
mri_convert --in_type analyze --in_orientation LAS -rl orig.mgz --out_type mgz --out_orientation LAS brainmask.img brainmask.mgz
Thanks, 
Paul

-rl is for "reslice like" and you include it in the mri_convert command
line with orig.mgz as the template volume. Run mri_convert --help and it
should be clear
