Shape Table Problem Solved... Or Not



I finally have my shape table working. It will let me draw all 4 shapes. I
moved it from the "free space" area, where it was being overwritten with
string data, into HiRes page 2. The only problem now is, I have to rebuild
my shape table because the way I encoded it into binary didn't work. Now
when I XDRAW it, it goes everywhere.

If anybody could help me encode this into the binary data:

Shape 1: Simple Line
Vectors: 40

Shape 2: Mouse Pointer
Vectors: 565656565336656530303767601304444216567

Shape 3: Plus Sign
Vectors: 44456665553332667440377

Shape 4: Crosshair Cursor
Vectors: 0130445662211553333226674401303377

Shape 1 was already encoded into binary because it came from an existing
shape table used in a screen inversing utility. But even though, it still
didn't work. It seems to be doubling up on itself now.

Does anybody know of a program that will create shape tables for me? It
might just be easier to use that.

Just for the records (of Most Failed Attempt at a Shape Table and Longest
Non-Spam Post to a Newsgroup :-) ), here is the existing shape table:

00000100 (4) <- this is the number of shapes
00000000 (0)
00001010 (10) <- relative address of shape 1
00000000 (0)
00001100 (12) <- relative address of shape 2
00000000 (0)
00100000 (32) <- relative address of shape 3
