Yep. Pass in a .DAT filename, and include the -MS parameter (for Mode
Save). A bitmap will be created in the ldraw\bitmaps directory. It
will have the same filename.
If there are step commands in the DAT file, several bitmaps will be
created, one for each step. The bitmap files will be named using the
first six characters in the source file name, with a two-digit sequence
number appended.
