shp2blk

I'm trying to use shp2blk from Express-tools.
Then I got this:

Select shape entity to convert: Enter the name of the block to create <O6>: WMFIN This command is not yet supported.

I'm using Platinum v19.2.14 rev 65424

Why/what to do?

    Not much you can do with no WMFIN, look for another shp to block lsp.

    Just making sure not a Esri shape file.

    Well.. it seems hard to find another lisp for that. All hits points to Autocads shp2blk.
    How to get WMFIN to work?

    ; -------------------- BONUS WMFIN FUNCTION ---------------------
    ; This function runs WMFIN on the file FIL, scales the resulting
    ; vectors, explodes the insert and removes the outside frame.
    ; It returns a selection set of the entities brought in.

    So if can work out at what point to stop and not invoke wmfin but rather build something from the "entities brought in"

    I think it will be a case of looking very hard at the shp2blk code and stopping the continuous running. Breaking it into mini defuns.
