1 : unpod the POD file.

2 : get the list of files finishing by 5

On the Windows Explorer, make a search with the pattern *5.*. Then copy and paste the found files in a separate directory. You can also unpod directly using podview the files finishing by 5 (*5.*).

3 : In a DOS prompt go to the newly created directory (containing the files finishing by 5).

Then execute the following command :

Dir *.raw > toto

That means : list files with .RAW extension and stick the result to a file called "toto".

4 : Open the file toto with a text editor. I recommand you editplus (www.editplus.com). UltraEdit will also do

Delete the 5 first lines and the 3 last. Juste keep the formatted columns..

5 : Select the column containing date and time by a right-click and "column select"

Delete.

6 : Replace the string « 65ÿ536 » by « Raw2Bmp.exe » (Menu Search / replace).validate by « replace all »

In the same way, replace « .raw » by blank (no space, just blank)

Here is what your file should look like :

Nothing at the beginning nothing at the end.

7 : Save the toto file to the same directory as the .RAW files and leave editplus. On Windows explorer rename toto to toto.bat

In the DOS prompt just tape run toto.bat

Then you see the windows animating :

after a few seconds (minutes) you will see on windows explorer the created BMP files. There are as many BMP files AS RAW files. The size of a BMP file is 256x256px in 256 colours.
