Having trouble with .dat editing.

[Neomage]

Well, after downloading some edited .dats for years, I finally decided I would do some on my own and give back to the comunity. I've had modelviewer for a while, and I figured how to conver .dats into a bitmap file, but I am kinda stuck...

1. The only picture editing program I have is paint, which quite frankly, sucks. I will buy softwhere is needed, but keep in mind I'm not made of money. I don't need the best just something workable...

2. I went to Phabins site, but I can't make heads of tails of most of it. I figured out I need Graphics Converter 3, but I'm having trouble unziping it, it says LHA isn't installed?

3. I also saw in some tutorials a tool that would "Textureize" things, such as make grey blobs look like leather. What is this, and where can I find it?

Thanks in advance! I'm a real nub at this ; ;
