The time is now ... finally. This was my most delayed release ever. Originally planned for February, TIImageTool v1.5 is now ready for release.

New in this release:

* Picture viewer: TIImageTool can display TI ARTIST, MyArt, and YAPP pictures
* GPL Disassembler: As it says, allows for disassembling GPL binary code.
* Tagged Object Code disassembler: You can disassemble DIS/FIX 80 files.

The DIS/FIX 80 disassembler took quite some time, but I think it was worth the effort. Given a D/F80 file, it tries really hard to get a syntactically correct source code from it. I was able to re-assemble the produced code! Although it most likely does not appear anywhere, it can cope with different memory scopes (program/common/data-relocatable).

Note that TIImageTool is not only useful for MESS users. It can be used for disk image management (file operations), can work with Archiver files, and contains full XModem support.

TIImageTool requires a Java Runtime version 1.5 or newer. A current Java 6 or 7 is fine. If you want to use serial connections you need the RXTX library.
