Heh. Maybe. It might also have to do with me trying to run it in the
background on a Win98 machine. I moved it over to an old P166 with NT4,
and it's going much faster. Unfortunately, the P166 doesn't have enough
disk space for all the BMP files at once, so I'm having to take it in
phases.

Hmm. I'm just using convert.exe, which is 56K. But I think Win98 has a
bottleneck with loading programs in a DOS window. I don't know if it
matters that convert.exe is a Windows (console) app. Whatever. It's
processing.
