This, among other reasons, is why the Topaz format is "dreaded" and people try to avoid it.

(Buyer beware the Amazon listing with only a Print Length in the Product Details and no accompanying File Size. It is but one of the marks of the Dreaded Topaz, by which It shall be known...

The other is a TPZ0 at the beginning of the file, sample or actual, when you view it with a hex editor or the like.)
As of sometime after November 18, it has become much easier, at least on a Mac. It requires 3 steps, all straightforward. Follow the Readme.

Thanks for the pointer on Topaz books at Amazon. It might affect my buying decisions...
