Instructions:
1) copy scripter.exe, scripter.cfg, run.bat, make.bat  into where you have your PCX's ..
2) move all of that somewhere INSIDE Heretic2 directory structure... (including the PCX's)
3) edit scripter.cfg with the path that the pcx's are in and where you want to have
   the M8 files made
4) run run.bat
5) copy qdata.exe over to where the pcx's are
6) run make.bat
7) done...
8) if this didn't work let me know..

 Revision History:
  = 1.15 =
   * Implemented checking if the pcx is really 256 colors
   * Implemented a warning when the image is not a power of 2 (thanks Balr14)

  = 1.10 =
   * put the filenames in the script in quites.. QData likes it.. and it avoids a problem
     I've run it when a file had a space in the name and QData wouldn't recoginze the space
     properly.
   * Added checks for oversized ( >256 pixels ) images
   * Added checks for bad size ( not multiple of 16 ) images

  = 1.00a =
   * a small bug in the config file would make qdata not find the files addresed that

  = 1.00 =
   * not using Allegro library anymore.. (this reduces the size of the exe
     and should be easier on memory)
     Many thanks to Robin for giving me a hand with the PCX header info
   * some major code cleanup .. (closed files after opening them.. etc)

  = 0.95 (Internal) =
   * removed the use of apstrings to not infringe possible copyrights
     readme.txt touchups =)

  = 0.90 =
   * Initial Release
