No. He's not kidding. There is a lot of programs to convert pictures
into Ascii... And it works very good, Indeed!

What would be useful is a version of Windows notepad that ran 
as a transparent application that could be used over a GIF to 
follow the GIF's outlines when we type our favorite 
characters: *#!~|\/<>o0= etc.

Has anybody produced such a product?

I haven't been able to find a mac version, how ever, I am trying to find
some C source code for it and work on a port to Mac. May be a while as I am
starting school again soon.
