It's been a while since I used DTA, but I know it needs to be run from
a DOS prompt.  If your scene files are named test00.tga .. test19.tga
you type a command like "DTA test*.tga" along with whatever options
are appropriate (I forget which, if any, options you need - just type
DTA by itself to get a list.)
