'--------------------------
If it's only 2-bit then the results you will get are pretty good, since you
will have, say a # for black pixels and a space for white ones. However, if
you just stuff that image into it you will get an ascii picture 355
characters across and 493 characters down. You will need to resize it to
about 75px wide and whatever height that is when you maintain aspect ratio.
For windows95, I use a program that is called simply 'ASCII Art' although I
tend to refer to it as 'BMP2ASC' since it's more descriptive. I`ve emailed
that to you separately, cos otherwise the newsgroupers will yell at me :o)
I would like to see what kinds of results you get, when you have finished.
