I can't get the site to open right now.. | but do check out this URL... | http://www.inetw.net/~mullen/ascii.htm#paint | | It is Allen Mullen's collection-- you'll find many | of the "classics" there... GASP! That site is soo coool. The first thing I looked at was Normal Rockwell's "Freedom from Want". I have a program which will convert images to ASCII, but is there a Windows program which will convert images to HTMLized color versions such as the ones seen on this site as easily as programs like Email Effects? Or must one put as much labor into it as Picasso? It seems like it would be possible, even if one had to first convert the GIF/BMP into a 16 color image for better quality ASCII output. Thanks for the info in advance. And on a side note, and I'm hopefully not insulting anyone, but do you guys know about the Monotype.com font? IMHO, it's the best font around for viewing ASCII. due to fewer bumps and ridges on characters, if one is looking for smoother lines. Just thought I'd throw that in for an FYI. For a display image of Monotype.com and more info, here's the URL. http://softseek.com/Graphics_and_Drawing/Fonts/Fonts/Review_17320_index.html -- _____ _ _ _ | ___| (_) _ __ ___ __| | _ __ __ _ __ _ | | __ ___ | |_ | | | '__| / _ \ / _` | | '__| / _` | / _` | | |/ / / _ \ | _| | | | | | __/ | (_| | | | | (_| | | (_| | | < | __/ |_| |_| |_| \___| \__,_| |_| \__,_| \__,_| |_|\_\ \___|
