Assistance with MUGEN

I plan on making a fighting game with MUGEN and I have the program but I have no idea how to edit the sprites which are in .act .aff and .cns format, is there a program that can allow me to edit these on a paint program? Also does anyone wanna help me draw sprites of a few of the famous Square Enix characters?

This thread has no replies and is has old as hell. CKs may close this. Glad to help. Heil EoFF! :D

MoonZapdos: that was not necessry and I would appreciate it if you did not do it again.

Also, I do not appreciate spam in the help forum. Next time I see something like this, I'm banning you.
