> A little easier solution is to double-click on any *.PBF file, then when
the
> window pops-up and ask you what to open the file with...  hit "browser"
and
> select the pbf2tga.exe located in you GPL-directory, before you hit "Ok /
> Done" be sure to check the "always open with this program"-box.

> Then the next time you double-click on a PBF-file it will be converted
> automaticly and a TGA-file will be created in the same location as the
PBF.
