I know this might not help you much on your PC, but I've developed a Mac
application that provides all the functionality of TimUtility and TimTool, but
also automatically generates batch files with the correctly offset addresses.
It then creates a header file with #defines for each file name.

If anyone wants to give it a try, just let me know. I may port it to Windows if
I get a chance.
