Hi Tom
            Thank you for your help.
If you want to learn all about the DLG-O format then go to the 
following link.
http://rockyweb.cr.usgs.gov/nmpstds/dlgstds.html
And download the first part1,part2,part3 pdf files.
They explain the whole format. But they do not explain on how to 
change utm to lat and long.

The usgs has a viewer with source code. It is fortran. you will find 
it at.
