That's my fault -- I'm the FAQ maintainer, but I've been a wee bit busy
over the past few months, er, the past year, so I haven't had time to
update it. (I hardly even have time to post to a.a-a any more ... sigh.)

However, some rummaging through my
things-which-I'm-going-to-put-in-the-FAQ-one-day folder reveals the
following links to various converters. (And I've just checked all these
links, so they should work for you.)

Bitmap 2 Ascii (for Windows):
	http://members.tripod.com/bitmap2ascii/

Email Effects (for Windows or MacOS):
	http://www.sigsoftware.com/emaileffects/

GIFA (looks like this one's for DOS, but I can't tell for sure):
	http://users.skynet.be/pascalbe/ascii.html

Charac (for Windows 3.1):
	http://openlab.ring.gr.jp/fumio/#Windows

Various ASCII art programs, including Gifscii (for MacOS):
	http://home.sol.no/~ekveland/download/Ascii/

Er ... and that's about it. But if you do a Web search for gifscii.exe
you should find the DOS program *somewhere*.
