For quick stuff I use edwin's scrviwer (http://www.samcoupe-pro-dos.co.uk/edwin/software/scrviewer/scrviewer.ht m) to save a bmp to a dsk then use dodgy basic code to convert the screen$ to raw data. Other than that I sometimes write oneoff utils. I still use comet to do the code :) Long term in the back of my mind I was to use the TCP/IP stuff im working on to do a cross plat. Dev system to real hardware, that's the ultimate :D

I have my favourite text editor and pasmo set up, which I use for occasional speccy stuff, and have augmented this with pyz80 (coz it writes out DSK files, which has been handy). Have also got SAMdisk and DiskManager for manipulating disk images, which seem to be working nicely, but... What I really could do with is a utility (preferably with a palette editor) for drawing graphics (tiles, sprites) that runs on Windows and spits out either DEFBs or binary files that I can INCBIN. Does such a thing exist? Failing that, something that has a reasonable stab at converting PNGs or GIFs into a form I can use in asm would be useful. What do you guys use to do this sort of stuff? And also are there any other useful cross-development tools that I should be looking at? Cheers, Chris.
