Hi Francois,

I have no programming experience and I have only basic experience with cmd,
but I would think that it is the problem of the command line itself.

Type in this instead (follow exactly, including the space and <>) after you
get to C:\xml:

perl 04to05.pl <DhakaOSM.osm >DhakaNew.osm

You should see a file called DhakaNew.osm generated in C:\xml

Also, be sure that the script you downloaded is a Perl Script, not a HTML
file. If need arises, go to the website just now and right click and save
the file. It should be 04to05.pl, with the icon of a black and white lizard
(or gecko, I have no idea).

I have generated the file for you if you do not want to play with it on your
own though. However, when I open it with the new JOSM, an error occurs. I
have no idea what the error means, and what caused it, so you might have to
bring it up with other people around here.

If you are experienced with IRC, you can connect to the channel and ask the
people there for faster response. Alternatively, ask in the official Talk
list.

I am sorry I couldn't be of much help. However, if you still need help I
will be glad to guide you.

Regards,
Keith
