I have a program that will turn a 256 grayscale to ascii.  If you want, I
will E-Mail it to you.

Can I have a copy of your program too?  I saw your post and am interested
in converting photos to ascii.  Is it possible to go from ascii to photo
or jpg as well? TIA.

 Yeah, well you won't get an effect like "Merriday" with
gifscii---that's a brilliant pencil-sketch, then handcoded.
Best thing for gifscii is (1) convert the pic (2) handcode
every part of it from scrach over the top.

Yes, but the image quality will suffer _greatly_.  

There are only like 64 or so ascii characters so if you encode one
pixel from the picture with one character that lets you get... 64
colors out of the pictures.  Yuck.  

But suppose you encode 4 pixels from the picture with one ascii
character, then you'd only get... 64/4 = 16 colors.  Yikes.  Even
worse.

Hi.  Can I have a copy of that program too?  My email address is:

Display is a freeware viewer / converter that'll convert *any* image
format with any colour depth into an ascii or ansi image.  Remember to
resize the image to 79 pixels first so you get a 79 character wide ascii
file that'll fit on screen.  You'll probably need to do some work by hand
afterwards, as Display doesn't use a great variety of characters for the
rendering, but that's the story with any converter.

I have Display up at:

I would also like a copy of that program, sounds nice...though I have
one question...can you also send an example of what the quality of the
conversion is like? Or is that Nude woman an example? Oh well, please
send that program and example to the below address :)

Tsk, tsk, Roamer. I personally welcome the use of languages other than
English here, but non-ASCII character codes are a definite no-no. You
*could* use an ASCII-based method of encoding Chinese, you know.

Now will you tell the nice people what ai4-shui4-de-zhu1 means, or
should I?
