After a rather longer break than anticipated, I'm just uploading some
tools you may all find useful.

Dump Address : Give it a nice control file and it'll generate .h and
batch files for your projects. Very useful indeed...

Palette Ripper : Saves cluts from PCX files. I actually use these for
making my lights change colour...

Vertex Extractor :   Extracts vertex and normal information from
multiple TMD files and saves them in a table for animating a TMD
object.

As I have stated before, we can convert 3ds scenes (multi-object
supported) including texture data into multi-object TMDs. 

Unfortunately this code is actually part of a rather large semi-
commercial 3D editing tool in the works but if anyone is desparate for
it perhaps we could pass on a quickie version of it that just does the
necessary conversions (and a preview via OpenGL).

Oh, and ManicX, the pacman style game we did ages ago is also on
there! Better late than never...
