I'm not sure I can understand that. The steps to do the conversion are not so difficult.Image

1. Python 2.5 is still available (latest version is 3.0, but wasn't there a incompatibility?). It's no more DOS 6.x, but still working with a DOS-Box. Python usually configures the PATHes on it's own, so you don't have to take care of it. I'd suggest to install 2.5.x.
2. If you have the Wings stuff ready for export (means a model with auv_map), simply use the Wavefront (obj) exporter -> configure it!!! (see pic, Steps 1+2)
3. Copy the obj2DatTex.py to your folder where the model is saved to. The converters can be downloaded from BerliOS, or ask the dev-team or download it here (3 KB).
4. Open a DOS-Box and switch to the folder with the model (and script).
5. type in: obj2DatTex.py mymodel.obj. (see pic, Step 3)

That's it! Hope this helps a little bit :-)
