Hi, I'm new to the ASCII world of art and I find it overwhelming that anyone could actually type out these intricate pictures by themselves. Is there a program that will do this for you? And if so, where can I get a copy? -- --- / Patrick Gibson *-* pgi...@freenet.vancouver.bc.ca \ \ "If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving isn't for you." /
The pbmplus package includes a way to convert GIF to ASCII. It is written by Jeff Poskanzer and is widely available via anonymous FTP. try sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/X11/contrib/pbmplus10dec91.tar.Z Barry tol...@sun1.engr.utk.edu
