A New ANSI/ASCII Editor

Hi All, Theoretically, I have never payed much attention to ASCII art, and was quite presently surprised when dragged into it. I am not an ANSI/ASCII artist, far from it in-fact, I develop applications (Arrrgghhh, they all say!), well at the moment I am developing a rather huge Internet application. A friend of mine suggested that I included a 'signature' file editor, as using 'NOTEPAD' or something of that ilk was tedious. And so I began work on an ASCII editor. After a week, I seem to have gone overboard with full ANSI support, a variety of graphical effects and painting tools, with a beautiful Windows user inter- face. I have now arrived at 'alt.ascii-art' to ask you ascii-conniseuers, a few questions. As I am trying to make this Internet package 'high quality', I see no reason why the ANSI/ASCII editor should not be as polished as the main application itself. If anybody has any ideas on what they would like to see in an ANSI/ASCII editor, then I shall try and implement them as best I can. Also, when the editor is finally completed, maybe some of you guys could draw up some pictures using it, to go in the 'Examples' directory... Anyway, Thanks in advance, -- Cheers, Ben ------------------====### legal notice ###====----------------------- Microsoft Network is prohibited from redistributing this work in any form,in whole or in part.
