SLPCNVT was created by me over the past few months to account for the proprietary format of SLP files, the most commonly used graphic file for Age of Empires. What first led me to writing the program was the fine utility created by Stoyan Ratchev, DRSBUILD, along with the SLP file list created by Brian Yip. Looking at his list, I realized that many of the images that really had to be there somewhere, were missing and I couldn't seem to find them, which led me to examine the SLP files more closely. Finally, after many road blocks, I cracked the commands used to create the images and wrote this utility to convert SLPs to BMPs and back.
