	You're right, 'ILBMDump' is on Fish Disk #16.  It also doesn't work
as documented.

	'ILBMDump' works great for creating BOB source files, but totally
barfs when you ask it to create source structures for sprites.  I stared at
the code (which looked valid), but never could figure out what was wrong.  I
guess it was a compiler bug (what do you expect from Lettuce? :-) ).

	This was extremely disappointing as it was the first tool I tried to
use when creating the sprite imagery for Robotroff.  I ended up hacking on
Mike Farren's 'gi' program.  I guess EA loses again.
