It only works on .BMPs w/256 colors! You'll need to explicitly convert your .BMP to 256 colors if it isn't (the sample.bmp that comes with bmp2map does have a 256 color palette). The output will be wide by high. Default is 512. Each color is listed in a /16 by /16 box. There are 16x16 boxes. The output image looks like this (palette indices in decimal): 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ... 31 32 ... 47 48 ... 63 . . (etc.) . 224 ... 239 240 ... 255 [I assure you, the use is easier than the explanation.] This hasn't been extensively tested but seems to work.
