conventer on the internet? If yes, could anyone please tell me where to 
find it. Thanks.

As with most files that are most wanted, go to shareware.com.
They have what you're looking for. I've downloaded it from there and
it seems to work fine. It only works with black and white gif files
and is rather picky on the pixel depth, pallette and size of the gif
file, but works fine. Just go to www.shareware.com and keyword search
in the DOS files for ASCII. Easy as mud, as I always say.
