Gifscii Reprogramming Project

Several weeks ago I posted Gifscii, a GIF-Ascii converter partly based on
ASCGIF, but with an improved conversion routine. I have received several
responses - some nice, some spice, and seen some obviously Gifscii-converted
images posted here, which is very rewarding.
Based on some helpful critiquing and also some ideas of my own I am reworking
the code for Gifscii to include the following features:
- gif89 support
- brightness & contrast controls
- panning in small & large increments
- <<insert your suggestions here>>
There are also some bug fixes (yeesh) and c-code improvements that are
needed.
Because of the large interest in this program I would like to enroll the
assistance of c-programmers on several different platforms to see if
we can create a portable-source version of Gifscii, and make executables
available on some ftp site.
Now I'm just a novice c-programmer, so hopefully volunteers would be
more experienced in order that a quality product emerges. Please reply to:
