As to PCX, I would guess you'd have to use some kind of viewer on your platform to convert PCX to GIF, then use a GIF to ASCII converter. My ftp.wwa.com has some converters in pub/Scarecrow in the Gifscii and Misc folders. Also see the ASCII ART FAQ for further info on obtaining these converters, and on using them. The FAQ is available in three versions (including one for the Web), and is available from newsgroups, FTP, Gopher, WWW, finger, email (see the header of this post). -- ****) *****) ****) *****) ******) *****) *****) ****) **) *) *) **) **) ** *) ** *) **) **) ** *) **) *) **) *) *) **) **) ******) *****) ****) **) *****) **) *) **) *) *) **) **) **) *) **) *) **) **) **) *) **) *) **) *) *) *****) *****) **) *) **) *) ******) *****) **) *) ****) ********)
