What you do is you copy the outlines of your picture on a plastic bag or OH film, tape that to your monitor (yes! really! no kidding! I know it *sounds* like a tippex-on-the-screen joke but this actually works!) so that it overlaps your text editor. Then you try to "copy" it by writing text in the editor. [You can use some programs, like "html editors" or drawing programs but be careful, I know at least one person who accidentally hit "save" after finishing a picture and found that her work had been turned into a bitmap...] -- (, http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/ /|__--__ . __--__ |\ '__ /|\ _{ _ `.' / `.,_ _________ | _________ _,.'

I use the `tab method'. That is, I position the text editor window over the window with the picture in it on the computer screen (most of my conversions are of pictures in electronic format anyway). Then I use Command+Tab (if I'm in MacOS) or Alt+Tab (if I'm in Windows or fvwm) to switch between the windows every few seconds, drawing a few characters each time. ttfn -- Matthew `mpt' Thomas http://critique.net.nz/ ASCII ART FAQ: http://cantua.canterbury.ac.nz/~mpt26/art/ascii/faq/

I think it came with something like the following: Take the roman numerals from BARNEY THE PURPLE DINOSAUR V L DI changing the U to a V, and changing two other letters to an X and a C -- I can't remember exactly, though it might have been the Y and S... Then, add them all together (D is 500, C is 100, L is 50, X is 10, V is 5 and I is 1), and you get the number 666 (and the picture above contains phrases like "Satan is my friend", "I like Satan", "Death to all kids" -- Barney is EVIL!) :-) -- Philip Taylor philip @ zaynar . demon . co . uk
Hi Sheesh, that's one corrupted view of old Barney! I say that 'cause of all the sentences formed in the lines and stuff.
