And another follow-up from me...
If anyone is going to be doing this on Windows, a good program to use in lieu
of Photoshop for the image manipulation would be JASC Inc's Paint Shop Pro.
Personally I've been using their ancient version 4.12 version and it should
let you do what you need to do for making these maps - namely, saving as
4-bit greyscale Windows bitmaps. If you GoogleSearch for "psp412.exe" you
should be able to find this old version (which won't expire).
Michael, feel free to add this information to your page.
