REQ: Software for organizing ASCII

REQ: Software for organizing ASCII

alt.ascii-art · 6 messages · 14 Jun 2000 - 22 Jun 2000
Hi!

Does anyone know a program that helps you to organize your ascii pics 
using some hyerarchical interface (like Explorer) for making a tree like 
Animals (dogs, cats, etc.) and so on... and a field with a fixed font to 
see the pic and hopefully to copy it right to the clipboard.

I know I sound more like a "I need a coder" but I think such program 
should exist and I hope you use one. Or at least something compareable. 
Share your experience with me. I'm tired having over 200 .txt files with 
ascii...

Perhaps it`s not exactly what you`re looking for, and i don`t know if
there`s another language than german available, but maybe www.cuecards.de
could be helpful.

(Hint: Set the default font to a fixed font)

I actually find that explorer is fine for this purpose, myself :)
I have loads of text files in directories, categorised. If you look at my
ASCII Site:
http://users.breworld.net/m/martin.atkins/asciiart/
... you can see a small part of my ASCII art directory structure (the part
with my art in it). My site is generated right from my filesystem, using a
script which reads each file and writes them onto appropriate pages with
links between directories.

Alright, this was an excuse to post my URL... so shoot me! :)

Kind Regards,
-Martin

..and that gives me an excuse to post one of my early ASCII pictures,
originally drawn in response to a similar line on a local BBS.  ;-)

I use AZZ Cardfile.  It's a Rolodex type program that includes a title filter 
and content search.  I can find whatever I'm looking for very quickly.  The 
font is adjustable as well as color preference.  The latest version 2.2.02 is 
Shareware for $12 and well worth it but an old version (1.6) is also available 
at the site as freeware.  I've been using this program since the first version 
for my ascii collection as well as creating addtional files for my jokes and 
lyrics.  I have a very small hard drive and it also saves a lot of room.  I 
love it.  You can download it at:
