Convert txt files to either bmp, jpg, gif files.

Is there a way to convert txt file to an image file.  I want to print large
acsii pictures out on my printer, but text apps like wordpad, adobe acrobat
and ms word mess up the formatting.

       Yes, a conversion utility called NeoGrab comes
with shareware Neopaint that converts ASCII or ANSI
to BMP which can then be converted to any image format.
       I will only do 25 lines at a time though.

www.neosoft.com

       (I think).

       But if you have a plain text file with carriage returns
and linefeeds and the lines aren't too long, you can print an
ASCII file by going to the MSDOS Prompt and

COPY MYIMAGE.ASC LPT1

       It works for me.

Press "Print Scrn"-button, then go photo editor and paste. This works for
small pictures... (unless you have a very big monitor)

Have you tried printing from Netscape?

Hi Steve,

If you use a fixed width font (e.g. courier) then you should
be able to print your files ok.
