Tony-- I have yet to see GOOD ASCII pictures from
a program -- most of the pictures created that way
 need manual touching-up so that they look decent.

I wouldn't say that people ought to be obsessed with
doing things the hard way...  My way is easy for ME.
And it doesn't take that much time.... I can create a
decent ASCII picture in about 15-20 minutes... compare
that to a software-generated picture and add in the
amount of time needed to make it look right... it would
be awfully close.

Why don't you post some pictures that you've made
with your program?  Show people what it can do...
and if the pics are great, I'll gladly eat crow.
