:    Gentlemen, you find in the current version (1.8) of both the FAQ, and
: the ASCII Art Resources file, question 12, 'Where can I get gray scale
: converters?' tells of two FTP sites and an email source for Gifscii for
: the Mac.

:    The FAQ was posted two days ago, so it shouldn't be hard to find, and
: it can be obtained by fingering my account, by typing at a prompt on many
: InterNet sites:

: finger bob...@gagme.wwa.com | more (to read it a page at a time).

: finger bob...@gagme.wwa.com > faq (saves it to a file called 'faq').

:    And Chris has recently posted the current contents of FTP site as well
: as the address and pathname.

:    Why don't I just tell how to get it?  If we point people to the FAQ
: instead of answering frequently asked questions, it should reduce the
: repitition of questions.

   Yes it is in the FAQ, the answer to question 12, "Where can I get
gray scale converters?" will tell you.  Get a FAQ by typing the following
at the prompt of many InterNet sites:

finger bob...@gagme.wwa.com > faq

   This will get the FAQ from my account and put it into a file called
faq on your account.
