16 bit Extended Bitmap Manipulation for FS2000 and CFS2

Program building on the knowledge gained with Bmp2000 and specialised for the 16 bit versions of the Extended Bitmap.

Supports 565, 555-1, 444-4 and DXT (CFS2) formats for loading and saving.

Images can be passed to any Paint program for editing in 24 bit and then re-imported and saved in any of the 16 bit formats.

Transparency in DXT and 555-1 shown in pure green for easier editing.

Transparency (Alpha) channel of 444-4 textures can be viewed and edited separately from the main image
