I assume you have a DTED reader (they're trivial). The Super Viewer
(.sv) format is convenient to work with since it's ASCII. I would think
you could write a DTED -> SV converter fairly easily, using tmesh as the
model basis. It's also easy to apply material or texture to a Super
Viewer model, and you can use i3dm to dork with the model once you've
converted the DTED. Use LoadSv() to load it into Performer.

This is all theoretical on my part. I've worked with both DTED and Super
Viewer, but not together, so I don't have any code to offer you.
