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
........#### ....
........#### ....
.......##### #...
........##.# ....
........#### #...
........#### ....
.........##. ....

.......##### #...
