Hello! As you can tell by the "subject", I'm a newbie to alt.ascii-art...
And I've come with the question that thousands have already asked...(now
a thousand and one...)

Where can I get a program to convert a GIF to a ASCII art (in UNIX)?

(I know it's probably stated in a/the FAQ somewhere, but I'm leaving for a
while and I just wanted to get some quick converting done before I go.)

Than-X!


P.S. Also, if it's still coded in C or something, how would I compile
it?  (Ah, the sign of the newbie...)


As you can tell by my sig, I really need some ASCII art...
