Hello all,

	I was wondering if anyone can write out "Max Dawa" (in a fancy but 
readable ascii) with a cow and a bike, all to be in about 4-6 lines?  
Thanks in advance!

Max

Noo not a request for my sig drawn in ascii .. fooled ya :)
But my actual signature as well as I can write it with a mouse .. and thats
hard work .. created in Jave 2.0 - which I'm testing at the moment ( don't
worry Markus .. tons of suggestions , praise and critisism will be comming
your way )

For thoose that don't know the program : Jave is a ascii-art paintprogram
like Paint or Photoshop only for ascii-art.
Creating images in Jave requires little to no skill at all.
Really awesome images and fine details still require talent and handediting
though, but Jave is a great helper.

Hello CeeJay,

Thanks for making good publicity for my little tool :-)

> ... ( don't

Great, I am very much looking forward for that.
I have not receive much feedback for the new release yet :-(

As for my work on JavE I have already fixed a few bugs and implemented a
new feature that will be part of the next release: The "Camelizer". Here
is an example:

                            The
      Camel            izer is a t
ool that take        s any kind of t
 ext and forms       it into a given
    shape. Th    e shape is tak en fr
  om a GIF/BM  P/JPG image and   it onl
  y takes li  ttle e    ffort to create
  Ascii imag es like      this one. I di
  d not have a good        id ea     for a
   name  for this to  ol, so I d    ecided
   to cal  l  it "Ca mel  izer". This is bec
     ause p ropably the most famous exam ple
        for this effect is a nice Perl p rog
             ram formed int o the   shap e
             of a   camel.  Have    fun  w
             ith t  he cam  eliz    er -

             er        y n           ex
            t          releas        e

Well, that's right: Other programs claimed that long time ago, but for
JavE it's true. And one should also mention that JavE is freeware and it
runs on almost any OS (with support for a Java Runtime Environment -
BTW: don't mix up "Java" and "JavE").

Now I think it is time to once again tell the URL from where to downlaod
it:
  http://www.jave.de

Don't forget to mention that it has little or no calories and that in
every 7th download package there is an extra surprise included! Now
that's amaaaaazing - isn't it? ;-)

Yours faithfully,
Markus

Notepad also is a program :P
and JavE is just an extend text editor so what's the problem using it?

There is no problem, except that "drsquare" loves to start shit. He should
post more pictures and less mouth, but I doubt he has the talent for more
than muckraking.

Really?? - Ok, let's see: I'm gonna start the program.
Clickedyclick...hack...click... - Now it's running.
Ok, there is an empty document open... All right, I am waiting... Still
waiting for something to happen... - Hm, no: it doesn't seem to work. It
does not do any art for me :-(

Hey, drsquare, let's face the truth: Those programs are just _tools_ -
like a brush for the painter or a hammer and a saw for the carpenter.
Ascii-Art is still done by humans. And I am pretty sure you don't draw
your Ascii-Art images with a pencil on a sheet paper, do you?
 - Oh, I have just had a look at all your postings to this newsgroup -
LOL - What a shame! It seems to me you are not even into Ascii art at
all :-( 
Well, that's ok then: If you don't draw any Ascii Art you will of course
not need any tools. So everything should be fine for you ;-)

Yours sincerely,
Markus

I'm not taking a stance, but there's a funny and always interesting
idiosyncrasy in this group which evolves around the subtle differences and
overlaps between art, and art of skill (I enjoy both in this area).

Then MAKE some and post it , prove you can do art.

Well, I've tried it and It didn't do much for me. It did draw the
lines for me but at the end I didn't enp up with a drawing. It was
more like a big mess. The problem was, I think, that I wanted to
reproduce with Jave what I was doing by hand. I'd try something else.

In my experience, Jave doesn't do the art for you ...neither does
Illustrator or any other drawing application.

That doesn't work. I've downloaded JavE now about 40 times and in none of
the packages I found that 'little extra surprise'. Or means 'little' that it
has 0 bytes? What am I doing wrong?
