SOMEONE PLEASE POST SOME GIF ->ASCII Converter!!

Thanks!

  15   How can I make Gray Scale pictures?

  You can make them from scratch if you are a very good ASCII artist.  An
easier way is to use a converter program.  There's ASCGIF, Gifscii (with
versions for many systems), ANSIrez, "ansicv22", GIF2ANSI, and "gif2txt" for
the PC.

  There's also the HyperCard stack called "asciipicter".  It allows you to
draw a picture, and convert it to ASCII art.  This is for the Macintosh.

  These programs make an ASCII pic from any GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)
image (or image you can convert to a GIF).  Most converters require the GIF to
be in 87a format.  GIFs in 89a format, must be converted to 87a format first.

  The exception to the GIF converters is a bitmap converter for Windows
called Pixel Characterizer (version 0.5) by Shi Y Chen.
