<refsect1><title>Description</title>
<para><command>bi2cf</command> is a map conversion tool for Crimson
Fields. It takes the data files of maps from Battle Isle, Battle Isle
Data Disk 1 or 2, or History Line 1914-1918 and converts them into map
sources usable with the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>cfed</refentrytitle><manvolnum>6</manvolnum></citerefentry>
map compiler for Crimson Fields. <command>bi2cf</command> can handle
both uncompressed maps and levels crunched with TPWM.</para>
<para>For some units and tiles there are no corresponding counterparts
in Crimson Fields. These cases are mapped to similar ones if available.
As a result some maps will not be as balanced as the originals, others
may be unwinnable, and still others may even fail to compile. If this
happens the map in question needs to be adjusted manually.</para>
