Re: FAQ - ASCII Art Questions

OK, I have Gifscii now.  Having big trouble converting, however.

Scarecrow's FAQ mentions that some programs capable of viewing GIFs can
save in the 87a format (what am I talking about?).  Please, which
programs?  Can I find them in Turbogopher?  What are the magic commands? 
I can convert to GIF, TIFF, PICT, etc, but having trouble beyond that
point.  I'm on a  Mac Quadra 800, and I can use Canvas 3.5, Adobe
Photoshop and Omnipage Pro, among others.  No luck so far.  Can someone
give me simple instructions, as though speaking to a small child?  Maybe
I could send the GIF to someone who has the inclination to mess with it?

Many thanks, and Happy Solstice,

Phoenix
