Re: HOW you do it?

The Dutch Dude:
How about writing your own program.
It even can be done in Basic.
It's as simple as that!!
You can do it yourself. GET SMART, MAKE ASCII ART !!
Run This Program: 

10  CLS
20  READ A$
30  IF A$ = "Holland 1996" THEN PRINT A$: END
40  PRINT A$;
50  FOR T = LEN(A$) TO 1 STEP -1
60 PRINT MID$(A$, T, 1);
70 NEXT
80 PRINT
90 GOTO 20
500 DATA"           ##    "
530 DATA"            ##   "
540 DATA"             ##|-"                 
550 DATA"            | ## "
560 DATA"           |___##"
570 DATA"          |~~~~##"
580 DATA"           ===##="
590 DATA"          |..##.."
600 DATA"         |..##..."
610 DATA"        |..##...."
620 DATA"       |........_"
630 DATA"      |........|_"
640 DATA"     |_________|_"
670 DATA"Holland 1996"

It makes:                      

           ##        ##
            ##      ##
             ##|--|##
            | ##  ## |
           |___####___|
          |~~~~####~~~~|
           ===##==##===
          |..##....##..|
         |..##......##..|
        |..##........##..|
       |........__........|
      |........|__|........|
     |_________|__|_________|
           Holland 1996
