Well, you did use the word "convert". When I use that word I expect the quality of what comes out on the other side to at least appear to be similar to what I put into it. Unfortunately nobody has yet managed to create a "gif-to-ascii converter" that produces anything but garbage. Certainly nothing that could be called "ascii ART". No, they won't do exactly what you want, they won't even make a decent approximation. (but the plastic bag method is good, at least give it a try...) -- (, http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/ /|__--__ . __--__ |\ '__ /|\ _{ _ `.' / `.,_ _________ | _________ _,.'
