Or just use a WYSIWYG editor. :-)



A long time ago (years), I had been working on an editor *JUST* for
coloring ANSI/HTML pictures, as well as bidir converting.  It had
many features not found in other programs, but it only did colors.

The program is now defunct, due to it haveing too many bugs to get
past pre-alpha testing.  A newer version was started, but work
was stoped and moved to my "Sometime" programs dir.

If I get enough requests, I will pull it out of mothballs and
continue work.

Since it's *only* function was coloring ANSI/HTML pictures, all
the features were designed just for that purpose. There are
plenty of drawing programs out there, but compered to mine, they
were a huge amount of extra work to get the same coloring.



Also along the same lines, I was working on a completeley plug-in
based GIF/ASC/ANS/HTM converter, which would convert between all of 
them.  It was *not* a grayscale converter, but it would rather
do an edge detect, and then use a brute-force method of picking
the best characters/colors to use.  It was also discontinued,
not to be restarted, but if anybody else wants the job, ask. :-)


Sorry to ramble, just rambleing.  :-)
