There are several sources of info:

* the public info written by the makers of the tool, often posted on their
websites, do a keyword search with one of the web search engines 
* ask the makers of the tool to draft an entry for the FAQ (good publicity for
them, may not be bias free, but not much work for you)
* do a keyword search in DejaNews on the product, it means more work for you
(analyzing the comments) but it will also be more bias free. For example, the
tool mentioned in the above, ACIDDRAW is not really a web oriented tool, you
can use it for the web, but you have to bend over backwards. It is therefore
far from being "the only ascii tool you will ever need" although the tool has
interesting capabilities.

P.S. This is my first message ever on Netscape Collabra that I just downloaded
and installed a few minutes ago, sorry for any possible glitches.
