Re: The Best way to make ASCII Art.


I'm a bit of a lurker here, and I don't get what you guys keep flaming
this guy for!

This guy makes a program to generate ASCII Art, and just HAPPENS to
include the extended character set in it, that does NOT have to be used,
and you go off the wall on him.

When I first saw this group, I was impressed at how helpful and receptive
you were, but after seeing this, well, I'm not so sure.

One point you all have to realize here, and I speak as a programmer and
someone who has had his programs downloaded, people are not going to
download his program EXCLUSIVELY for making pictures to post here. They
will make them to put on BBSes, FTP sites, Web pages, etc. where extended
Ascii is acceptable.

I didn't want to get involved, but you guys are acting very petty here...
