Laziness pays off now. Gifscii has a version for the DOS clones. And I think ascgif does also. BTW, there are a couple of new things in the /pub/Scarecrow/Misc folder here at ftp.wwa.com. Got some email from brunner@GAS.UUG.Arizona.EDU (Raymond E Brunner), telling me he'd put some goodies in the incoming folder here, and saying, "Just thought you might want to check out BMP2TXT & TXTINVRT ..." Ray says that BMP2TXT "is kinda like GifScii..kinda ..." and TXTINVRT "inverts black and white (for pictures already converted." He say that BMP2TXT is for DOS compatibles, and that users need at least EGA. Considering the filenames, I'd guess both are for DOS. So I put them in /pub/Scarecrow/Misc. Perhaps somebody could try them out and give some examples. Here is the current /pub/Scarecrow/Misc folder: -rw-r--r-- 1 boba ftp-admi 53252 Jul 23 14:30 Chevalier -rw-r--r-- 1 boba user 74181 Jul 25 12:51 Cows -rw-r--r-- 1 boba user 72565 Oct 7 14:39 Dragons -rw-r--r-- 1 boba ftp-admi 22835 Sep 12 06:13 Flowers -rw-r--r-- 1 boba ftp-admi 47414 Sep 12 06:20 Hearts -rw-r--r-- 1 boba user 18817 Oct 7 14:37 MakeMoneyFast -rw-r--r-- 1 boba user 42596 Oct 7 14:38 RowCollection -rw-r--r-- 1 boba user 62476 Oct 3 22:25 Smilies -rw-r--r-- 1 boba ftp-admi 176162 Aug 13 18:28 StarTrek -rw-r--r-- 1 boba ftp-admi 53057 Sep 16 17:14 StarWars -rw-r--r-- 1 boba ftp-admi 45848 Oct 4 13:35 Trains -rw-r--r-- 1 boba ftp-admi 65408 Aug 24 13:47 ansicv22.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 boba ftp-admi 107520 Aug 24 13:49 ansirez1.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 boba ftp-admi 13596 Aug 24 13:49 ascgif.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 boba ftp-admi 108231 Aug 24 13:10 asciipicter.sit.hqx -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp wheel 278006 Oct 5 08:06 bmp2txt.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 boba user 10217 Sep 29 12:32 randomizer -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp wheel 28313 Oct 5 19:34 txtinvrt.zip -- :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::'' ''::' ':::::: `:::::::::::::'.:::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::' :. : :. :::::: .::::::::::.:::':::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::: : :::. :::::::::::::..::::' '::: : :::::::::::: :::::::::::::::' :': "::' '"::::::::::::: :' '' ':::::::::::: ::::::::' : ' : :: .::::::::' ' .:::::: :::::::: : .:: .::. ::::' :::::::: ::::::::. .,. ::: ':::::::::::.: ' .:...::::::::: :::::::##### ::#### #### ::##### ::##### #### ##### #### ## :## :## : :::::## :::::## ## :## :## :## :## ## ## :## ## ## ## :## :## :: :::::#### ::## :: ###### :##### ::#### ## ##### : ## :## :## :## :## ::: :::::::## :## ::::## :## :## ## ::## : ## ## ## : ## :## :## :## :## :::: ::##### :::#### :## :## :## :## :##### #### ## :## : #### ::######## :::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::.
