Printing ascii art on multiple pages

Hi,

i've converted an jpg image to ascii art with a converter. How can i print
the output, since the ascii
picture is more than two pages wide?

Thanx

Well, there are several methods:

o Choose a smaller font size
o Simply print it out and glue the two pages together
o Get a printer which is capable of printing A3
   - OR -
o Make the picture smaller

Hi,
the second option seems ok, but how to do that? I can't find any program
capable to do this. Maybe it's worth to mention that i'd like to make a kind
of poster with that pic, so i can't make the font smaller.

Well, all of them were not really meant serious.

But, ok, depending on the program you used for creating this converted pic,
it might be possible to export it as image file (ASCII-Generator
(www.ascgen.co.uk) does this, too). Since you are using Windows, open this
image in Paint and simply print it. Paint will automatically print it to
multiple pages without scaling. My test image was 380 character wide and
with font size 10 it was 4x3 pages large. Maybe you have to test a bit with
the appropriate font size and image size. FinePrint helps a lot, because you
can se the output before it is printed, so you can save many sheets of
paper.

I don't know if there is a text editor capable of doing this.

Use the ascii generator (currently recovering from its near death 
experience at http://go.to/ascgen/), load the text into the program, 
select the font and export it as a bitmap.  Then open up Excel (or 
something similar), Insert/Picture, and you can then print it over several 
pages.
