the image converter program just quickly opens itself (as a DOS program of course) and then shuts right away.
Most DOS programs will do that, because they expect more info in their command lines. To use them, open a DOS prompt window and use them manually. i.e. open the DOS window, go to the directory the program is in, and do something like this (although this varies from program to program)
c:\folder\mypcxconverter image.pcx image.c
Personally, I''d still advise writing your own. I did, and gained two things from it. One, I understand how the image data works a LOT better, and two, my program is a lot more versatile, and able to convert images for a lot more purposes than most other converters I''ve seen.
If you don''t understand how the image data is layed out, just ask and I''ll fill you in, but that wasn''t your question.
