ANSI-DIGITIZER

MS-DOS Program to convert a GIF image into ANSI. (Dr. Dos could not get it to function in Dosbox)
ASC2BRD
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.
ASCII Chart
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.
BSV2BRD
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.
CleanZZT

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.
Dexkit
Description
A great set of utilities by everyone's favourite hobo, Dexter! It has some fun stuff, including color toolkits, ASCII character boards, and the like. Though old, it is still worth checking out.
Font Mania

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.
FontEditor 2.0

An alternative font editor for creating custom graphics for ZZT worlds.
Hacked ZZMPlay
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.
iBag
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.
Improbus ZZT File Manager
Description
A ZZT file manager. Create categories and use them to organize your ZZT worlds. The vague documentation makes this very difficult to use.
Improbus ZZT File Manager 2

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.
