Okay, sorry for rediscovering the wheel so late, but JSWED is excellent. Looks really good and easy to use. Nice to see such a Speccy-like stuff on the PC.

I'm guessing that what Sendy means is joining rooms together in a
map. "Flickscreen" meaning that each room is a separate screen, rather
than scrolling from one to the next.

Warning: Blatant self-promotion follows.

There certainly are. In particular, my own:

The original JSW doesn't. They're a guardian type that I put into
JSW64 so that it could do Eugene's Lair without any custom code. A
trigger watches a byte of memory, and when it becomes zero the trigger
changes a load of bytes in the next guardian in the list.

The format description most of us worked from was written by Arsen
Torbarina and has long since vanished from its original page. A copy
of the page can be retrieved from archive.org:

The other resource that I used was disassembly.
