Hi folks, Is there a software program to convert a graphic image into a text map representation of the image using alphanumeric characters?. I remember in the early days of computing that images were produced this way on line printers using alphanumeric characters, but I'm not sure whether this was done using a program or by manual labour! Thanks in advance for any info. David. -- /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \ David A.
