request: Taz ...

Heya folks!

	I've been looking around for a while now, but I haven't seen any Taz
ascii-art yet.  Is there one around somewhere .. anyone?  And, oh, just
curious ... is there a program that can "scan" a regular picture file
(i.e. jpeg, gif, bmp) and convert it into ascii-art?  If so, what
company makes it and/or what's the name of the program/utility?

	Anyway, thanks for any ascii-pix/info/help anyone can give.  Take it
easy now ...

You haven't been looking well enough then...

Yes there is many programs for this kind, but I see that sort of
stuff like cheating. Handmade art is much better!

I know of a program for PC wich is called Gifscii or something,
take a look around!
