It's my suspicion that there's very little out
there that will interleave
two 4-bit-wide images to make a nice 8-bit one. However, there still may
be something out there to make two 8 bit images out of a 16-bit one, as
that was a very common task when writing old 286 BIOS ROMs. (Yeah, I ended
up writing my own anyway).
I love hacking with Unix CLI tools.
Look over sed,tr,nl,sort,cut,join,head,tail.
If you want to learn them (about 15-60 minutes each), you will be able
to build scads of data tools in just minutes each time you need a new one.
An interleave tool goes something like
nl used twice, sort, then cut IIRC.
