  The program supports converting just one file at a time. If you want
to automatize converting several files, you'll have to resort to any tools
your OS offers you.
  In a Unix shell it would be a command like this:

for F in *.inc; do meshcomp $F $F.pcm; done

(of if you don't like the files named in the form 'file.inc.pcm' but would
like them to be named like 'file.pcm', you'll have to use a bit more
complicated command, like:
for F in *.inc; do meshcomp $F `basename $F .inc`.pcm; done
)

  However, from your question I deduce that you are using Windows. If you
have the command-line version of the program, you can do something like this
in the DOS-prompt:

for %%F in (*.inc) do meshcomp %%F %%F.pcm

(It will create files with the form 'file.inc.pcm', and I don't know if
it can be made to create them otherwise.)

Warp,

Thanks, have forgotten about good DOS tricks.  Appreciate it.
