Try ftp.wwa.com in the pub/Scarecrow/Gifscii directory:

    ALPHAGifscii.exe       <- Digital Alpha
    Gifscii.exe            <- msdos
    Gifscii.lha            <- Amiga
    Gifscii.ux             <- unix (Sun)
    MacGifscii.hqx         <- Macintosh
    VAXGifscii.exe         <- Digital VAX

and of course:

    Gifsciiv2.2src         <- latest c-source

The executables are compressed by the program of the donor's choice.

For those who don't know, Gifscii is a Gif-to-Ascii conversion program.
You run it, give it the name of your gif file - then tweak it until you
get something recognizable or the sun comes up and it's time to go
to class - whichever comes first :-)

Remember -
    don't post any conversions that aren't GREAT (but do post those that are)
