Uploaded files which contain programs specifically to aid in the creation of ZZT and related files or sometimes just miscellaneous items as a legacy thing from the z2 days. Keep in mind that many utilities are quite old and are designed to be ran on systems that support MS-DOS programs. For utilities that are ZZT files rather than programs, check out the genre tags Help, Toolkit, and Utility. Yes I realize how stupid that last sentence is.
Program Description
MS-DOS Program to convert a GIF image into ANSI.
Program Description
ASC2BRD is a small utility that can be used for converting ASCII and ANSI graphic screens to ZZT boards (60 characters on each line in an ASCII/ANSI file because of ZZT's board size). This can be very useful if you draw using an ANSI drawing utility, such as TheDraw.
Program Description
A very useful ASCII character list. Run it before you go into ZZT, then hit ALT+A to bring it up while you're in ZZT. Very useful for long #char animations or anything else #char-related. We recommend this over any other ASCII chart since you can view this at any time.
Program Description
MS-DOS program to convert images drawn with the program "The Draw" to ZZT boards. The Draw is also included with this zip file.
Program Description
A modification of ZZT which removes the sound effect played when the player touches water, as well as the messages from touching water, fake walls, or forest.
Program Description
With this, you can create your own fonts for ZZT! This can be useful to create graphical text screens and use the full potential of the 256 given characters.
Program Description
An alternative font editor for creating custom graphics for ZZT worlds.
Program Description
Plays ZZM music files. Now with better representation of 64th notes, better screen updating, and many other features. Does not appear to list files correctly in DosBox leading to crashes.
Utility Description
iBag is a utility created by the mastermind behind games such as Voyage of Four and Banana Quest, WiL. It makes creating inventory-managing objects in ZZT less troubling. Inventory systems have been used in many games (eg. Fantasy World Dizzy) and this utility will make your inventory-creating easier. It's not very complicated to use, provided you read the instructions thoroughly.
Program Description
A ZZT file manager. Create categories and use them to organize your ZZT worlds. The vague documentation makes this very difficult to use.
Program Description
An updated version of this ZZT file manager. The interface is easier to use, but it continues to not explain links and categories and addresses and what all this means for launching your ZZT worlds through it.
Program Description
A very early release of the KevEdit ZZT editor. It can't do much of anything, but was released in its time to help contestants in the "Interactive Fantasies 24 Artistic Hours of ZZT" competition with its ability to easily use STK colors and place objects.
Program Description
The DOS version of KevEdit. Recently, KevEdit has become quite a program, especially with the latest version. It is easy to use, and it runs on most any operating system with ease. Though it is not updated too often, when it IS updated, it comes with many new features and many bug fixes.

This little utility allows you to set the health, keys, ammo etc. that the player starts the game with. This can be done with ZZTAE or KevEdit, but LZZUtil's Windows interface is quicker and more compact.
Program Description
An incomplete set of utilities, including a save game editor and a lock protection remover. Nice interface (for a ZZT utility) but unfortuneatly, not finished.
