How to use "LEV 2 BMP" ?

[minglw]

I downloaded "lemlevbmp_0_3_0.exe" from the Lemmings File Archive.

When I try to run it, I get this:

C:\>lemlevbmp_0_3_0.exe Isupck02.dat
  ! Level is incorrect size: 9655 bytes

I can't find any doc on how to use this utility.
Anyone has more info on how to use this tool to convert a level set into a set of BMP(or other popular graphic file format) files ?

Thanks!

You must do it using a single level file (.lvl) and not using a level pack file.

Thanks DragonsLover!

I use the DAT decompressor and got the individual levels.
I then ran the level files thru the lemlevbmp.  It complaint about missing group8o.dat.
I then took the group*.dat files from the LEMEDIT dir, it ran and didn't give me any error.
However, no files were created either.

I figured it must need other graphics files as well, so I copied all the files from LEMEDIT and it generates the BMP ok.

I vaguely remembers that the author of  lemlevbmp (mindless?) mentioned something about the usage of this tool back on the old lemmings forum, but I no longer have those info.

It would be nice if there's a readme file or usage file for lemlevbmp_0_3_0.exe
detailing what's needed to run and what options/parameters (if any) it takes.
And maybe some examples would be nice.
Preferably, these info should be package in a zip file with the exe on the Lemmings Files Archive.   Or even better, when you run the EXE without parms, it will show you the usage.

Thanks!
