Is there any software that can convert GIF to ASCII or is it at all possible?

Well, there are what is referred to as Gifscii, but it most often produces at best mediocre results, but if you really have your heart set on getting one, there are both msdos and vax versions of it at ftp.wwa.com but I suggest that you don't even try it on vax unless you have tons of free time. Run on a 386 or better it isn't too slow, but don't expect miracles. Okay. Bye.
