I had to set environment vars as follows to get it working:

add to path only: c:\mingw; c:\mingw\bin

saver_converter doesn't appear to do anything

If you are lazy coder, saver_converter rename files: saver.scr.exe -> saver.scr
If not, you can code your own file tool. :)

I made this tool because BMK cannot export SCR file. I hope this feature will be added in BMK compiler
