Mathieu,

You ought to look at Roger Taylor's Projector-3 which decodes a wide selection 
of graphic formats including Cocomax and Cocomax3. The source code for these 
format decoders is included with Roger's Editor/Assembler package Rainbow IDE 
which can be found at
http://www.coco3.com/community/downloads/programming-and-development/
where you will want the 1.6 version.
I think the assembler is included with the package but if not also get CCASM 
from the above site.

Robert
