I'd like an opinion from all of you...I've recently tried Ascgif.exe, and
am not altogether impressed with the result...it seems that the use of
symbols rather than letter is a bit overdone, and it's user interface is
pretty bloody horrible. Plus that fact that setting the sensitivity above
45 causes my machine to sputter and the screen to garble horribly, and
the whole thing to beep at me over my PC speaker.
So what is the BEST converter out there (in your opinion)?
