Hi Rick,

I'm just terminating a new web on-line service which allow to convert
any gif or jpg images you can find on the web into a ASCII picture.

Try the "Pictext Service" at the following address:

	http://www-lil.univ-littoral.fr/~jobard/PictextService/

Below is a small sample of what it can do!

Enjoy it!

Bruno.
