Whoa! Man, this NG is excellent!

I wonder if anyone can suggest what good programs to use to make ascii
art.

I have links to ASCII related programs.  They may not make ASCII
art pop onto the screen like that magical program jgs uses... but
they may be useful anyways:

It's not software generated, it's hand drawn. (What sort of programme
could come up with these elephants?). By "handd drawn" I mean typed in
character by character in a programme such as NotePad or my NewsReader.
