580K -> it also requires the huge (1.5mb) vb5dll

In which case, there's already a Windows program that does this called ASCII
ART which converts BMP files to the mess you see above. It runs on Win3.x as
well as Win95 and doesn't need VB runtimes ... it is also 226k once
installed. What does your program do (apart from other graphics file types
.. almost everyone can convert pictures with relative ease) that ASCII ART
doesn't - and is it worth the bloody huge VB Runtimes for version 5 that are
required... in short, chuck some examples at the group.

Well, just the one will do initially so we can see if it's a greyscale
converter (of which there are loads) or a line-art converter (of which there
are currently two and only one worked correctly and I can't remember who
made it and where it is!)
