This is a three part package for designing user defined graphics, sprites and creating screen designs. There is also the facility for the creation and running of animated sequences using sprites.

As such, the sprite and UDG editors are unexceptional and of average quality. There are the usual commands for the setting and clearing of points, the reversing, inverting and scrolling of designs. You can also OR, EXOR and AND specified UDGs or sprites. The implementation of multi-colour mode was poor and you have to remember which bit pattern gives which colour.

The strong point of the package is the screen editor. This enables you to use your UDGs (not sprites) to design the screen layouts. These screens can be saved and reloaded later. There are commands for specifying colours, placing of characters and creation and movement of areas of screen.

Overall, this is a handy package whose high point is the screen editor. The package operates reliably and speedily and is of acceptable quality, albeit overpriced. It's not the best character editor I've used but it's worth a close look.
