Well, I use Win95 myself and so have only used it under this OS... how were you
invoking it? It needs a filename of a text file on the command line although
without it it shouldn`t crash like this :o(

I`m afraid I can`t help any further without a few more details... and I suppose
it might be better carried on my email...

My email address is...

mart.atkins-.      .-bigfoot-.
             '-@--'           '-.com

Stick the address back together!

My reply address is nurglefied (that`s ROT13 encoded for those who don`t
understand MartiBurble) <g>

Well I tried your proggie out on the Dutch Dude big postings
(converted GIF style) and it worked OK except that when the screen
was filled although the program continued to run ( shown by the top
left hand corner inset box ) only the first 2.5 pictures were
visible and there was no way to scroll down to see the other pics.
So I guess there is a limit to input picture file length?

I haven't tried it on a true GIF to ASCii conversion yet but I would
say your program makes it ASCII to GIF. In which case you need to
make provision to save your conversion to a file as well as just the
screen.

Whatever...it's quite clever and certainly makes Dutch Dude's
pictures look like real pictures...makes me wonder if Dude's
pictures are in fact actually GIF to ASCII conversions?

Interesting...

This is about as much as I got on screen from the Dutch Dude's posting
the rest never appeared and any keystroke just terminated the
program.

I ran it under MS-DOS not Windoze!

P.S. 

I have now tried it on Veronica's recent big posting of big 
pictures and it works well on those provided you feed it each 
picture separately...not the whole file.

It really does look like a very useful program for turning
GIF-to-ASCII conversions back to GIFs. What is definitely needed is
an option to save the output from ASC2PIC.EXE to a file...I haven't
yet tried simple piping using the DOS '>' filter.

|Well I tried your proggie out on the Dutch Dude big postings
|(converted GIF style) and it worked OK except that when the screen
|was filled although the program continued to run ( shown by the top
|left hand corner inset box ) only the first 2.5 pictures were
|visible and there was no way to scroll down to see the other pics.
|So I guess there is a limit to input picture file length?
'--------------------
Ahh yes, it wasn`t really intended for files bigger than 320x198 pixels.

.--------------------
|I haven't tried it on a true GIF to ASCii conversion yet but I would
|say your program makes it ASCII to GIF. In which case you need to
|make provision to save your conversion to a file as well as just the
|screen.
'--------------------
I haven`t put in a save routine mainly because it was primarily a viewer program
and I have only needed to save once, and for that I ran it in Windows and used
Alt+PrtSc to take a screenshot of the window.
Perhaps I`ll make a savey thing :o)

.--------------------
|Whatever...it's quite clever and certainly makes Dutch Dude's
|pictures look like real pictures...makes me wonder if Dude's
|pictures are in fact actually GIF to ASCII conversions?
'--------------------
I think they are you know... his pinguin.txt (I think that`s the filename) is a
penguin leaning over - And I have the original picture :o)

.--------------------
|
|This is about as much as I got on screen from the Dutch Dude's posting
|the rest never appeared and any keystroke just terminated the
|program.
|
|I ran it under MS-DOS not Windoze!

Ahh yes, I have all of these in separate files so I didn`t think of this :o(
The program would get a lot more complex and quite memory intensive to allow
scrolling.

|I have now tried it on Veronica's recent big posting of big 
|pictures and it works well on those provided you feed it each 
|picture separately...not the whole file.

Yes I agree a save option is required, however don`t you need a licence to have
a GIF encoding thingy in a program? It might be better to go for BMP instead,
and it`ll be easier to save to as it`s uncompressed.

Anyway, thanks for trying it and for all of the suggestions!

"Veronica's recent big posting of big pictures" ???

I take it there is some other Veronica here who made a post that didn't
make it to my server? Otherwise I have no idea of what posting of big
pictures Colin is talking about (?)

*slightly confused*

The frshansi.zip collection...

It wasn't actually a zip file because the pictures had been
unzipped:

I also tried your prog on some of those big pictures of Veronica herself
but didn't dare mention it because little kids are reading this newsgroup
art present...but have a look sometime!  8-)

Hmm...in turn...carefully re-read the following:

I didn't actually say that you had _made_ the pictures.

Touche'!  Hah!

" Can I go home now?...My brain is full. "

I could swear that Calvin says that to Miss Wormwood in one of
Watterson's strips. I can't go though all my books to vind
that out, but I could swear...
