That was a bug, and I fixed it just in time for 1.8.5pre2, which is now 
installed locally.  Let me know if you have more problems, although you might 
also consider using setorigin.

I'm not planning to phase out analyze format support, but you can convert 
between nifti and analyze using vbconv.  vbconv is reasonably smart, so you can 
do any of the following:

   vbconv a.img a.nii        # convert analyze  to nifti
   vbconv a.nii a.img        # convert nifti to analyze
   vbconv a.tes a.nii.gz     # convert tes file to gzipped 4D nifti
   vbconv dicomdirectory a.nii  # convert directory of dicom images to nifti

You can also use cub or tes as the output format, and of course most/all VoxBo 
programs can read any of these formats without conversion.
