You can use gdal_translate utility to produce output file in the format,
suitable for your processing software. SRTM30 can be imported by the
GDAL without problems.

Also I have made a Python script to produce a shaded relief images
(algorithm was stealed from the corresponding PCI task). See that script
attached, those whop are using CVS tree can find it under /pymod/samples
directory. Script works not too fast, but it can be easily rewritten in C.
