The next question is...... did you try and run the game after creating those tiles or did you just look in the SHP folder and see that they were new ? My previous experience with DOSBOx and this process created the files but they were corrupted which is why I build mine from pure DOS on a win95 machine

Yes the automaticaly created ter files worked fine for me. Maybe you were using an older version of DOSBox? Even though the version number increments are small DOSBox evolves
ALOT in every new release.
Another program I use is Fred´s Unshp/Makshp/Hdshp.

With these handy command line programs I can use the existing terrain files to great effect. Just now I compiled the TER24z5.shp by first unpacking it with unshp. Then making modification to the pictures I wanted to change. After that I recompiled it using makshp. And finaly I used hdshp to move all the header info back to the new SHP file. No need for manualy messing around with the headers and very fast too. I only use SHPEdit for small edits and do all the heavy work with unshp.
Problem with 64bit win7 is that unshp/makshp/hdshp are 16 bit programs and do not work in it. So one needs to run them in dosbox. But dosbox also needs this program to be run first:

The ShpSym program on Fred´s site is for Windows but it does not include Hdshp yet so I still use that old command line version.
