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. nguyen <ngu...@rohan.sdsu.edu> wrote in article <52ovt4$qj...@gondor.sdsu.edu>... > Tan Boon Phing (eng...@nus.sg) wrote: > : Hi, > : i will like to convert some of my cartoons gif file to ascii > : image.
