THE FILE TO BE CONVERTED.
Bitmap Converter is part of a larger package called the Resource Converter.
The Bitmap Converter is being released into the public domain as freeware.
The complete Resource Converter package will convert your OS/2 PM resource
files to there Microsoft Windows 3.0 equalivents. What could take weeks
of tedious redrawing and conversion now takes seconds! Don't spend your
valuable time trying to convert your resources yourself, let the Resource
Converter do the job for you. The Resource Converter translates Dialog
& Window Templates, Frames, Dialogs, Windows, Controls, Menus, Sting &
Accelerator tables, Standard control ID's, standard #include definitions,
and B&W & Color Bitmaps.

Converting BITMAPS
Bitmaps should convert cleanly with no problem. Note: SDKpaint can only exit up tp 72x72
pixel bitmaps. For larger bitmaps use paintbrush or any other bmp editor.
Converting ICONS
In PM 1.2 and higher icons are 64x64 pixels. This is a problem because Windows icons are
32x32 pixels. Therefore PM icons are converted to bitmap files (bmp) and not icon files (ico).
you can use SDKpaint to trim the bmp file to a 32x32 image then cut the image to the clip
board. Next, create a "new" icon image and paste into the new icon.
Converting POINTERS
PM pointers are incompatible with Windows cursors. Pointers can be converted using the
Bitmap Converter but the resulting bitmap will contain the AND and XOR bitmaps. These
bitmaps may be useless for creating a windows cursor. Never the less they are provided incase
they may be helpful in some way. Windows cursors are mono only! Unlike PM that allows 16
color pointers.
