Ladies and gentlemen, while I do not condone the use of gif converters,
edit the output they give for the sake of saving our eyes. Observe:

Oh Illustrious Editor Joe,
Good job. Could you please enlighten us as to how one goes about
performing such a nice transformation? Specifically, what algorithm are
you using? How do you decide which new characters should replace certain
original ones?

Okay, it's realy complicated, and I don't know if everyone out there can handle
it, so just grit your teeth and follow these instructions:
1) Load up the picture in you text editor
2) Lay hands to keyboard
3) Use the cursor keys
4) Don't be afraid to look at your hands to find the slashes and that little
wiggly character that is only used in obscure languages (~)
5) Use you _imagination_
[Sarcasm mode off]
It's not that hard. You just delete the old and re-type. No logrythms, no
conversion programs. Just use you imagination and try to see in your minds eye
what you want it to look like. If you get it wrong, re-type untill you like it.
Keep in mind that since your not getting payed, the only person your pleasing is
youself, but outside praise is a good thing. One thing to remember is that a line
can be done on a gradual slope like this: _,-='~`=-._
and that shashes go both ways / and \. I suppose I should put toghether a textfile
with a list of the knowledge I've accumulated. If you people would like it place
your votes here. If I get 10 yes votes, I'll do it. That means, LURKERS COME OUT.
I'll make a post where the votes can be posted.
