GeoHex http://www.geohex.com/ were goinf to be marketing one but I
haven't seen any details for ages so its probably goodintentionware.

Assuming that you've got a PC... If you want a paint program then get an
evaluation copy of the shareware
classic paint shop pro from JASC:-

Or on a zillion PC magazine cover discs. Most people use the shipbits images
available from the UFTWWWP

http://www.uwm.edu/~cthulhu/FT/shipbits.zip

(which is UP)

and cut and paste them in a paint program at the moment. I've also got some
very cool templates for a diagram drawing package called Visio if you have
that (seems most people don't :-). I have a Gif version of this template
-
but its no better than shipbits (Visio being a vector drawing system that
looses a bit on conversion to a raster)

If you've got a Mac I can't help you (others can...) on a paint package but
they will be able to read the common formats that shipbits is in (BMP).

If you don't have web access I can email you the above, drop me a line
