and who knows what this adventure could bring 
Converting a .tm file to a bitmap
1.Using your hex editor, open the included file EAW.bmp
2.Select the first 1078 bytes (hex: 436 bytes, ie. bytes h000 to h435) and copy them to the clipboard.
3.Close the file, but not the editor.
4.Using the hex editor, open EAW.tm.
5.Paste in the saved bytes at the very beginning.
6.Save it as [whatever].bmp
The file should now open in any decent graphics program. Apply the palette tileplan.pal (PSP7 version) or tileplan.act (Adobe Photoshop version) to see (and edit) it in colours which reflect the types of tiles in use.
Converting a bitmap to a .tm file
Even easier. Just use your hex editor to remove the first 1078 bytes (in hex, bytes 0 to h435 inclusive) of the bitmap.
except for Janes which its WWII release basically suxked and literally caused me to run back to compusa and get this flight sim, so its really microproses fault. And i think they owe me a couple of tea pots by now...lost track of how many i melted on the stove, got a bad habit about forgetting boiling that water everytime i get side tracked with this sim...BTW Shreck, welcome back!!!
)anyway,still I am lost while trying to sort out all that has,or IS,changed(changing) in regards to EAW.....mindboggling
