I have no idea what you are talking about. Usually if you plan to do a colour map you save the map as .bmp, put it in the import folder on W:A and import it via the map eidtor in game. If you plan to do a B/W map, you gotta use Bitmonkey to make it .bit file as far as i can remember... There are better progs for map making btw. Try The Gimp or Photoshop.
Btw: The problem usually sits in front of the computer.

You can blame Bill Gates as well of course....
