You could draw them or get the images, on your computer, and then use an
awesome program by Matt Johnson at http://www.acz.org called Image Studio. It
lets you import or paste in BMPs and then it outputs to asm data (.db
statments for z80, dc.b statments for 68K) and it has features such as
putting it in layers for greyscale pictures, however the 83 doesnt do
greyscale well, so thats not too important for us. Also, it has the option to
give the data in RLE compression format, which i heard it great for cutting
down the size of your pics... however, i havent ever used compression, and I
wouldnt know where to get the on-calc decompression routine. maybe someone
else can help you on that...
Also, in your last mail you said "Not that I want to do this to anyone they
should make this list able to filter certain senders to certain people, but
only if they request it." and i think that is directed to me since i have
been posting the most on this list recently... why would ya want to filter
out mails coming from me? I am usually helpful i thought... =P
