     Okay, here's the process:

     I draw the 80 pixel wide GIF, one time only, in a VGA paint program. To
convert the GIF to ANSI I use a FREEWARE program called POSTER (it's the best
I've ever used). To convert the same GIF to ASCII I have to strip all of the
colors out of the picture (I usually draw the picture in black outlines and
then color it in, so I don't have to re-draw anything because I already have
the black lines there that make the picture). I use DOSGifscii21.exe (in the
conversion, I specify the output be 79 columns - a leftover habit from BBSs).
Actually, come to think of it, DOSGifscii21 has an option to reverse (make a
negative picture) the ASCII during the conversion, so you can forget the bit
about making a negative image before conversion.

     Now, to completely confuse you, I did this conversion that has nothing to
do with what we are talking about, and I did it in a completely different way
:) haha. I just copied and pasted into Email Effects (it's on my Christmas list
this year, I hope Santa can shell out the 16 bucks for it).
     Of course, I diddled in the bottom part. . . . but in some other alternate
Universe, I'm POSITIVE they are there. hahaha
