But perhaps only if the program is open source, and we can all tell, that it doesn't just print out hand drawn version of the agreed files. Maybe we should require all programs to be submitted before the pictures are decided, and then a 3rd party can run it to ensure no foul play. > - 100% pure ASCII > - The source image is not allowed to be modified (conversion of file > formats is allowed) I guess you mean manually here. I don't see anything wrong with a program firing up the gimp, and automatically running it through filters and stuff.
