Storing of ascii-art

· 7 messages · 16 Mar 2000 - 20 Mar 2000
Hello ascii-friends! What are some good methods to store email-received ascii-pictures in a way that I can paste them into my email-texts? Directly, of course, not as attachment. I think of keywords like clipboard, new file and converting. Am I on the right way? Thank you in advance for your hints (in English, German, French or Italian). Pierre from Binningen near Basel, Switzerland.

To copy, highlight the text/picture with your mouse and press Ctrl^C, to paste press Ctrl^V (works both ways). No "converting" needed. -- (, http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/ /|__--__ . __--__ |\ '__ /|\ _{ _ `.' / `.,_ _________ | _________ _,.' (/ `. / ||``._.'

Unfortunately, there is always the same problem: Copying into a new file and pasting do work, but the letters and signs are not formatted. They are horizontally displaced. I'll continue to try to resolve the problem. Thanks and greetings, Pierre.

From what you are describing you maybe still useing your system fonts which could be set on arail to view the art that is being copied an pasted. Change to fix width font for your system an e-mail (couirier news or fixedsys) are some. However there are enhanced notepads that you can use indapently of the system,but the e-mail program should set to a fix width font display. An enhanced notepad that comes in mind that is very user friendly is CNotePad might help out some http://www.cetussoft.com/freeware.htm
