INFO: New program to convert GIFs to ASCII artwork

Hi,

I've just uploaded version 1.0 of my new program to SimTel - the
program is called ASCIIArt, and converts GIF images to ASCII artwork. 

Actually, it currently only uses the full IBM-PC character set, but
many more configurations will be possible in future, including custom
character sets, and ANSI color support - see the manuals for more
details.

You'll find it in SimTel/msdos/bbs under the filename ASCIIA10.ZIP.

Spread the word !! {=^)

I've just uploaded my new program, ASCIIArt, to SimTel.

ASCIIArt will convert GIFs into ASCII artwork for BBSs and DOS text
modes.  Please see the manual for more info.

You'll find it in SimTel/msdos/bbs/ under the name of ASCIIA10.ZIP.

Maybe I should have mentioned that the package is on any SimTel mirror
site.  One of the main sites is ftp.oakland.edu.  For Netscape or
Mosaic, that's

	ftp://ftp.oakland.edu/SimTel/msdos/bbs

Hi all,

Can someone make a small mountain backdrop for my .SIG? if possible
include Denver (Colorado) buildings?

Thanks,

I've just been trying to find it - nothing on SimTel or the two mirrors
I looked at, nor have they put it under the /gif or /graphics directories.  
Nor can the AltaVista search-engine pick up anything
for 'asciia10.zip'.

I assume they take a week or so to check out the programme for viruses 
and copyright ?  So maybe it'll get placed onto Simtel next week ?

	Isn't the site called ftp://oak.oakland.edu   ?

I'd like an opinion from all of you...I've recently tried Ascgif.exe, and 
am not altogether impressed with the result...it seems that the use of 
symbols rather than letter is a bit overdone, and it's user interface is 
pretty bloody horrible. Plus that fact that setting the sensitivity above 
45 causes my machine to sputter and the screen to garble horribly, and 
the whole thing to beep at me over my PC speaker.

So what is the BEST converter out there (in your opinion)?

   character M.    geez..............
