I apologize for my earlier rambling post to the list.  I don't know if you
found it useful or (probably) not...

I've written tools that process PPM files into data for the CoCo
graphics screens in various spatial and color resolutions.  I don't
think I have exactly what you are wanting, but I can probably provide
something without a lot of trouble.  The output would probably be
a BIN file that could be LOADM'ed into the CoCo3 graphics memory.
Does that sound like what you want?
