Does anybody know of any good (or great

) window utilities to make sprites for the 83+ series?

PixelPainter is really good, it gives you a ton of options, such as whether you want to export the sprite in bin or hex, and whether you want a .z80 or a .inc file extension.

Else there is Demon'S pyroEdit package, directly on calc, not PC

I just use http://www.gimp.org/ to draw a sprite (8x8, 16x16, etc.), save it in the Portable Graymap (PGM) format, then convert it to hex using pgmtopbm and a binary-to-hex converter. No sweat! %)

The general point is that you don't need a specialized sprite editor. Any drawing program that can draw in at least black and white (read: all of them) will do.
