Thanks for your reply.

I have done that now but it cannot open the .PM4 file. here is a screenshot from command prompt. No doubt I am doing something wrong.

Hi!

I've checked the problem and I think you have specified the wrong file name.

If your starting file is merv.raw, for example, raw2pmode4 will generate a file named merv.raw.PM4, so your command for drbincas should be "DrBinCas merv.raw.PM4 merv 1536 1536".

Try that and tell me if it works.

Thanks for your reply.

I actually changed the name of my file from merv.raw.PM4 to just merv.PM4, so the file name is correct.

I am not sure what is going wrong as I have followed your instructions very carefully but it still won't open it.

I tried from scratch several times last night and failed each time.

The Users directory is special under Windows, that may cause problems accessing files there.

Try opening a command prompt with administrator rights or move the file out of the users folder.

If that doesn't work, try sending me the pm4 file so I can check it.

Great suggestions, I will try that later and let you know. Really appreciate your time !

I've been trying again to no avail

I have moved the files to my D drive and I am running command prompt as administrator.

I can't get the Raw2Pmode4.exe to convert the image using the typed prompts as instructed but if I physically drag the .raw image onto the Raw2Pmode4.exe icon, it converts it. then I am back to previous problem where I cannot convert the .PM4 to cas file. Dragging onto DrBinCas.exe has no effect.

How can I send you my .raw file for you to check ?

Again, thanks for your time and apologies for being a noob !

John

No prob!

Send me the file to robcfg at gmail dot com and I'll take a look asap.

Rob

Thank you so much for your help, I have sent you an email with files attached

Look forward to hearing from you

Hi, I thought I'd have a go at this too, following the instructions on the wiki. As ever, I've fallen at the first hurdle. I'm on a Mac, but I do have Windows XP running under Parallels, and normally that's fine for getting access to the wonderful world of DOS utilities. However, in this case, none of executables work - I simply get "the system cannot execute the specified program". To double check, I also downloaded DrCasChk.exe, and that works just fine.

Any thoughts anyone?! Thanks in advance!

Hi mate!

I'm currently on holidays till next week and I don't have access to a mac.

That said, I think you can just compile the source code with "g++ raw2pmode4.cpp -o raw2pmide4", if you have xcode and command line tools installed.

When I come back I can make a mac version for you.

Meanwhile you can try downloading the VS2012 redistributable files.

Cheers,
Rob
