Me too.  I'd like to know how to see gif file too.  Please email me if
you know.

Thanks a lot.

Such a thing does exist it is called GIF2ANSI but it converts gifs to ansi
not ascii, so not quite what you want. I could probably find it for you if
you want.

Even though it is not an ansi converter, I would still appreciate it!

The BMP2TXT program can be found at:

(plus several other goodies...)

Good luck! :o)

BMP2TXT.ZIP is on SIMTEL or one of the SIMTEL Mirrors.  I saw it one night
last week when I was browsing. I get there by doing a search with WEBWORM
for "SIMTEL".
