	Like most programs from EA, ILBMDump doesn't work, either.  It dumps
BOBs just great, but sucks major hose when trying to dump anything else it
claims to support (sprites and attached sprites don't work at all).  Since
the program is written in obfuscated Lattice C, I have not yet bothered to
dive in and find out why the program is broken.  Note that I have not
bothered to recompile the program from the sources; I'm using the
distribution binary.

	I once loaded a picture as a brush in DPaint.  Worked great.
