years old
Ah here you go....

http://www.ziplink.net/~shoestring/dicer01.htm

Version 0.39 is the latest official public release, incorporating a couple
of bug fixes. This will be the final Freeware version, barring necessary
bug fixes. It will remain available indefinitely
PictureDicer is a Freeware tool that chops any image file into several
smaller images, suitable for creating mouseover effects and
pseudo-imagemaps on Web pages. It also generates the HTML for a table to
contain the partial images and display them so they appear as the original
uncut image.

maybe this post will get through.... all my others always seem to get
stopped/ censored/ deleted/ unaccepted/ etc etc.
