(I figure I'll announce this, I might get suggestions.. it'll be a couple
months until it's compelte)

I am in the midst of making an ASCII ART program for DOS. This way you can
all
run it. It allows you to easily view, store, keep, and edit ASCII art, and
*ANIMATIONS*! It has a "cut-and-paste" feature for Win31, and Win95 if it's
the same clipboard file. As soon as I find the format for the Os/2
clipboard
file I'll add that too.. Adding new art is as simple as importing a .UPDate
file and selecting where you want things to go.

This will be really useful for people, as it gives them a nice, easy to
use,
mouse and keyboard driven GUI which can be used with almost any OS (DOS,
Win31, Win95, Os2, and I think theres DOS emulators for MacOS and Un*x),
the
ability to view and edit in the TRUE font, and quickly and easily make
animations (even exports with proper JavaScript code, or whatever code you
select in later revisions:), and easily paste it into messages, since it
can
write to the clipboard files of Win/os2/etc.

Has anyone got any suggestions for additional features, etc? Want more
info?
E-mail me!
