None of the .exe files (excluding the games, mappy, and tile studio) work...· I was really looking forward to using bmp2spin...· I have tried it on my laptop, which has windows 2k SP2 and another laptop with windows XP.· Not one of the .exe files in the sources folder work...· Is there something that I need to do in order to run them??

Thanks.

    That's because they're command line applications. I'm assuming you're just double-clicking on the .exe file from Explorer, which produces a window to pop up for a split second then disappear. You need to open up Command Prompt and run them from there instead.

    If instead you're getting an error popup, you need to make sure you have .NET installed.

    I finally managed to run the xgsbmp and raw2spin on a laptop with XP... Does bmp2spin require the .NET framework...? Also, how in the world do you run a program from the command prompt on windows 2000??? It's making me slightly furious...

    Thanks.

    Open up the command prompt, navigate to the folder that holds the executable, and type the filename in.

    Navigation commands:
    CD [noparse][[/noparse]folder name]
    DIR
    [noparse][[/noparse]Drive]

    Hmmm... Bmp2spin and map2spin don't work, but raw2spin and xgsbmp do work... what version of the .NET framework is required for bmp and map 2spin?

    Thanks.

    Okay--I got it to work. I didn't know you had to put the file to be converted after bmp2spin/map2spin. smile.gif

    Thanks for the help!
