Any word processor that allows you to use a monospaced font.

Hi, I'm wondering how can I take a look to your ASCII art images. What kind
of program must I use?
(now I'm using outlook under win95).
Thanks.

Although the best one is good ole notepad or an equivelent. Word and those fangle
dangle editors might do some strange stuff, because drawing (or would it be
writing?) in ascii isn't exactly a report format. So just watch out for that.
There are also some other programs, like GIF -> ASCII, and even some ones that act
almost as drawing tools...pretty cool if you just want to learn, but notepad is
still the awesomest =)

Change your Outlook font to a monospaced one, such as Lucida Console,
Courier New or FixedSys.

If, as your headers suggest, you are using Outlook *Express* (a different
beast) you can find a quick registry patch to do this in the ASCIIArt
Documents Archive.

Also in the archive is a list of monspaced fonts. Both of these documents
are on the 'older documents' page, as they are no longer updated for
whatever reason.

A UK mirror of the aformentioned ADA is at:
http://website.lineone.net/~martin.atkins/ada/
Where you can also find a list of other mirrors. Unfortunately there is
currently no Italian mirror.

Kind Regards,
-Martin
