   It's good enough.  While I was the one who pushed their usage in these
groups, I still find them slightly annoying, and better to have them than
not to have them.

   You should try to use or modify an original so that it has a clean
background.  Also, modifying a pic after conversion is usually always
helpful.  See one of the versions of the FAQ for info on making better
conversions.

   Could somebody email me a copy (or put it in my incoming FTP folder)
of the go32.exe so I can put it in the Gifscii folder here at ftp.wwa.com.
