what an idea!!!  I've seen this with trees around Ohio-- but we don't have any
good size trees in our yard...
but we do have a porch...  I'll bet that the broom
would go nicely where the flagpole fits...  hehehe...
thanks for the brilliant idea!  :)

Well I turned it all around for you so now all you have to do is
build a porch, find a tree, or use your flagpole.    HeHeHe.

And...an afterthought...it could get really messy if there were two
tipsy witches flying the same path but in opposite directions.

The highest witch on the right might find the other witch's broom
handle very difficult to accommodate and handle...Aaaargh!

ok ... yes its true ... the asc-tools do do the job well ... provided
you have the resources to run them ... same resources as windoze 3x
... also in the file-set are the unix tools 'sed' and 'tr' which
are capable of large feats of magic in their own right
(do you have the 'man' pages for those two? ... i can send if not)

ok then ... what i'll do is ... activate a download page on my website
featuring the asc-tool set ...
also (hopefully) a link to Ilmari's ascflip.zip (subject to permission)

[][ Ilmari ... if you're reading this ... this is a request

so ... having tidied things a little ... i shall post a URL in a
week or so ... gives me time to check the upload etc



... and now ... for something completely different ...

[][ hi ...

try this one ...

  ascflip 0.3beta  (15 Jul 1998) copyright (c) Ilmari Karonen 1998

  http://www.sci.fi/~iltzu/ascii/tools/

<quote>-------------------------------------------------------------
it is small - the .EXE is only about 12kb. And it should do anything
asctool can. The default mapping is slightly different, but making a
custom map file for compatibility shouldn't be hard.
-------------------------------------<Ilmari"Karonen"(ilt...@sci.fi)>

the asc-tool set that i made exceeds 100kb and requires >= 386-cpu

Nope, that's the "smd" system which misses off the author credits, remember?

> -joan

It is Colin Randall's program ASC-TOOL.EXE and I don't think he ever
posted an URL.

Also there were several updates and modifications and I lost track
of those changes and so I finally settled for a "mutant version"
which is working very well for me...using CJR's *.bat files.

LR.BAT is the one that does the nifty Sideways Flip-flop.

Anyways...perhaps CJR will now post an URL to his finalised version
if he reads these messages?


Just now I also tried Ilmari's "mirror" type Figlet Font but it does
not work so well as CJR's ASC.TOOL.EXE

Sideways flipflop using Ilmari's figfont:

If you've actually got a copy of Ilmari's ascflip 0.3beta how about
you showing us here what it will do to the above picture?

I'm steering clear of 0.xbeta versions of these things. I've now got 
a very good working version out of the "betas" you came along with
and I don't really care about the size of the executables if they
give the right results.

LR.BAT sideways flipflops and TB.BAT top to bottom flipflops are 
just about perfect...why stuff around with something else until
you have seen a demonstration that the new alternative is at least 
as good or better?

Meanwhile you could post your URL to your finalised ASC-TOOL.EXE proggie.

HooRoo,

I know little of Unix although it is used on my Shell Account with my
ISP so I do use the simpler Unix commands as required at the command
line. I think the Unix manual is actually on line too.

I think I have enough detail about "sed" and "tr" in my copy of
UNIX IN A NUTSHELL ( A Desktop Quick Reference for system V &
Solaris 2.0) and this is probably enough for the little I use or
or intend to use Unix.

I am definitely not an aspiring program designer/writer unless you
call *.bat batch files programs, they are really. I write bats to do
specific jobs like using SIZE.BAT to use the resizer RESIZE.EXE from
my Utils directory and redirecting output to files carrying the
%change suffix e.g. MYFILE.75 ( resized to 75% of original ). I can do
this easily on any file using my shareware DOS Shell 
"FileViewer"...to hell with Windoze and all the clicking and 
pointing and hopping in and out of directory lists to do simple 
tasks like resizng a picture. BAH!  :-)

Yep, the Horizontal and Vertical flips are excellent.

That is more or less useless but all the rotations are inherently
useless.

Thanks for showing Ilmari's program results...the proof of the
pudding. :-)


In most Ascii artwork Sideflips are probably the most useful. I have
needed to use them many many times in the past but it is so simple now:

BTW, for horizontal flipping try this silly little FIGfont:

---(cut here - mirror.flf)---
flf2aR 1 1 3 -1 22 1 0 0
Mirror by Ilmari Karonen (9 Jul 1998)
Requires FIGLet 2.1 or later, or other FIGdriver capable of
right-to-left printing.
Permission is hereby given to modify this font, as long as the
modifier's name is placed on a comment line.

Usage: figlet -f mirror <picture.asc
Also try: figlet | figlet -f mirror

Explanation of first line:
flf2 - "magic number" for file identification
a    - should always be `a', for now
R    - the "hardblank" -- prints as a blank, but can't be smushed
1    - height of a character
1    - height of a character, not including descenders
3    - max line length (excluding comment lines) + a fudge factor
-1   - old smushmode
22   - number of comment lines
1    - print direction (right-to-left)
0    - new smushmode
0    - number of codetagged characters

I renamed it FLIPPO.FLF from Ilmari's "mirror.flf"  because the
FigFont mirror.flf already existed and was quite different.

|From: ilt...@sci.fi (Ilmari Karonen)
|Newsgroups: alt.ascii-art
|Subject: Re: asc-tool.exe (asciitool.c for dos) [1/2]

|[...snip...]
|
|BTW, for horizontal flipping try this silly little FIGfont:
|
|---(cut here - mirror.flf)---
|flf2aR 1 1 3 -1 22 1 0 0
|Mirror by Ilmari Karonen (9 Jul 1998)
|Requires FIGLet 2.1 or later, or other FIGdriver capable of
|right-to-left printing.
|Permission is hereby given to modify this font, as long as the
|modifier's name is placed on a comment line.
|
|Usage: figlet -f mirror <picture.asc
|Also try: figlet | figlet -f mirror
|
|Explanation of first line:
|flf2 - "magic number" for file identification
|a    - should always be `a', for now
|R    - the "hardblank" -- prints as a blank, but can't be smushed
|1    - height of a character
|1    - height of a character, not including descenders
|3    - max line length (excluding comment lines) + a fudge factor
|-1   - old smushmode
|22   - number of comment lines
|
\
 > SHHNNIP!
/
|
|I renamed it FLIPPO.FLF from Ilmari's "mirror.flf"  because the
|FigFont mirror.flf already existed and was quite different.
|
'------------------------------

I used a figfont called ascflip.flf... now where is it....


Ahh! Found it... here's the header....

It's the same font! I wonderz why our results are so different.


Ahh well, I`m sure the solution will come to light eventually! :o)

yep ... i concur ... 8x12 bitmaps dont rotate easily inside the same
