Thanks for all the hard work you have done to produce these executables.
I'll find a way to get the proggie running eventually now that
you have got it compiled and working under Windoze.

I don't really want to run your proggie from Windoze if I can avoid
it. I would like to run it at the command line at the DOS prompt:

   C> asc-tools mypicture

So exactly what do you mean by a Windows dos.box?  I'm not familiar with
that particular jargon - "dos.box" ?

A dos-box to me means a computer running MS-DOS as the operating
system. "dos.box" I dunno - no comprehendi senor!

BTW did you get those ANSI files? I see they are showing here in
alt.binaries.misc so at least they are on the server at this end.

Bye,
