INFO: ASCIIArt version 1.2 available


Hi everyone,



ASCIIArt version 1.2 is now available from the official ASCIIArt
webpages at :

    http://www.niweb.com/dnet/dnetxwcs/aart.htm


Version 1.2 fixes all known bugs in previous versions, and includes a
few minor enhancements.

In case you haven't heard of ASCIIArt yet, it's a shareware program
for DOS to convert GIF images to ASCII representations of those
images.

ASCIIArt is a powerful program which uses virtual memory and
maths-coprocessor emulation along with 100% 32-bit code to get the
most out of any system with a 386 processor or above.

Requirements are :

  *   At LEAST a 386sx processor.
  *  Hard disk with about 1/4 meg for the program files, and a few
     megs free while running (for virtual memory).

The disk space needed for virtual memory depends on the amount of real
memory you've got, and the size of images you're converting.

In theory, ASCIIArt should run in a few hundred K of memory (as long
as you've got space for virtual memory), but I'd recommend 1 meg or
more.

ASCIIArt version 1.2 is still officially Beta-testing, but since it
seems to be working 100% and there aren't enough Beta-testers at the
minute, I'm releasing it now.  As I say, there doesn't seem to be any
problems, but I there could be a few machines which aren't totally
compatible.  If so, let me know, and I'll sort it out A.S.A.P.

By the way, if you want to become a Beta-Tester, you'll find details
on the ASCIIArt webpages (address given above).



Remember to read the manual, and...

Have fun !

- Lee.
