I have seen a number of images in ascii form that must have been created from gifs or jepg or some kind of bitmap graphic format, but no one seems to know what program out there does such conversion. For someone out there who does know, what software do you use ? (where can it be obtained?) thanks. .....__________................................................................ ::' / ____ /\ . :' / /___/ / / : "Those of you who think you know everything : / _______/ / : are extremely irritating to those of us who do :/ /\______\/ _ ; /__/ / \./ |/ |_ |. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . \__\/ | |\ |_ |::::::::::::::::::::pyk...@iastate.edu::::::::::::::::::::: +----------------+------------------------------------------------------------+ -- ....__________................................................................ ::' / ____ /\ . :' / /___/ / / : "Those of you who think you know everything : / _______/ / : are extremely irritating to those of us who do ..." :/ /\______\/ _ ; /__/ / \./ |/ |_ |. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . \__\/ | |\ |_ |::::::::::::::::::::pyk...@iastate.edu:::::::::::::::::::::::. +----------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
