"zx81paint" for Amiga

Just released: zx81paint, a little tool for ZX81 developers who also have an Amiga computer.

zx81paint runs on Amiga machines, creates ZX81 character set images, and can save them in file formats suitable for ZX81 development.

It's currently quite a simple program, but it's usable. zx81paint has its own file format for loading and saving, and can additionally save raw byte sequences of ZX81 character codes, and ASCII text BASIC program code for processing with "zxtext2p".

zx81paint v0.1 running on AmigaOS 3.9

You can download it from AmiNet:

Feedback on the program, esp. file formats written, is very much appreciated! Leave a comment below, or visit AMIGA alive on facebook or reddit. Thanks!
