I'd like to compose a few OFFIMGs Can anyone recommend a cheap/free editing program for Windows which can produce images in the correct format?

IrfanView is free and allows to resize images and reduce them to 2 color bitmaps. A quick check worked on my DM42.

Personally, I use the GIMP.

FYI - Although fairly limited, Paint comes with all versions of Windows and works just fine.

How do you get paint to do 1-bit and dithering?

Paint does not support dithering (at least not with any control; when you paste something with higher res than the current settings, it sorta does some dithering on its own, but you can't control it).
Set the properties to B&W (= 1-bit)
before you paste in your image. If you paste it in first, you can no longer set it to B&W.
