Here's a build of Polished Map that can open the MAP/DAT files directly, no need to convert the db statements to raw binary:

Required project structure:
- blue8M/makefile (marks the project directory)
- blue8M/MAPDATA/TOWN12.MAP (like a .blk; renamed TOWN12.DAT)
- blue8M/MAPDATA/TOWN.CEL (like a .bst; renamed TOWNCELL.DAT)
- blue8M/MAPDATA/TOWN.DAT (like a .2bpp; renamed TOWNIMG2.DAT)
The project does *not* have to be named blue8M.
The MAPDATA directory and the .MAP, .CEL, and .DAT extensions do have to be that way.
The .CEL and .DAT files have to have the same name.
These extensions were chosen because the majority of files already have them.
The twelve unused towns are some of the exceptions.
