Thanks, Redwulf. I d/l-ed the alternative application and tried it out. I got a little farther along. It opened my map_c.tga and then I attempted to create a map_c.table.
But after a few seconds, the application stopped and appeared confused. It then aborted the process and told me the map was "too complex".
I checked in PSP that the map is only 1 layer. It is. And it is in greyscale and just uses black and white.
The map is quite large - over 10,000 pixels wide. And it has a lot of little lakes and a few large rivers. No sea coast at all. (Central Russia).
Any guesses or suggestions as to what I should do???? I could white out some of the lakes, but I don't want to do that unless I genuinely have to.
---------------------
I later went and made a little map_c test map with just some black flood fills on a 640 x 640 white square. The map c toolbox program promptly made a nice dissected map_c and map_c.table out of this little guy. So I guess my Smolensk map really must be "too complex".
