SPECSAISIE Graphics can be used to write MM/JSW sprites to text-files.

e.g.

> java Graphics MANIC-BB.TAP 16 #B300
...#####..#.....
..###..####.....
...##..####.....
....####..#.....
#..#####........
.#.######.......
##########......
.#.####.........
#..#######......
...######.......
....###.........
...#####........
#.###.###.#.....
.###...###......
..#.....#.......
...#...#........

> java Graphics MANIC-BB.TAP 8 #B24E
.#...#..
..#.#...
#..#.#..
.#.#...#
..##.#.#
##.#.##.
.#.##...
...#....

The addresses may also be specified in (sprite-page, frame) format:

> java Graphics JETSET.TAP 16 #9B 3
........####....
........####....
.......######...
........##.#....
........#####...
........####....
.........##.....
........####....
.......######...
......########..
