But the system I am using is >Windows 95. Just wonder if anyone can send a copy to me via email. 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?
