Hi,

I'm testing mri_convert for our dicom conversion needs; one thing that
would be fantastic is to be able to feed it a .tar.gz (or .zip)
containing a dicom series we'd like to convert. Is there a way to do
that?

Alternately, if there were a way to make it use stdin, I could just
pipe the output of tar to it.

Thanks!
-Nate
