I've attached the exe in case it helps.
Just to clarify what I did was click on the imp file in the library view, click on the general tab and then from the tools menu click Create HTML.

Yes that's exactly the steps I take to create a HTML from the IMP file.
Converting the Laumer book wasn't instant for me sadly -took about 3 mins.
As additional info I also tried converting my original 2453 kb IMP file with the gui; after 4.5 hours, I have just used task manager to kill the executable since there was no sign of an output.
Running the same file though DEIMP produced a text file in about 30 seconds.
Note this particular IMP file doesn't generate any image files; ie it is all text whereas many of the other IMP files I've tested contain images that will reduce the amount of Ks used by the text content, I guess. So this will be a much bigger processing challenge for the converter as a large, text content only, file.
Another notable thing about this file is that DEIMP created an output file with unix linefeed only end of lines rather than the more normal CRLF output I've seen from some of the other IMPs I've converted.
So as a hypothesis, could the GUI converter be stumbling over the unix line endings and treating the whole text as a single (enormous) line of text as opposed to hundreds of much shorter lines of text? Would that slow the html rebuild process?
