Do you know the software or web site you used for .GIF to ANSI conversion?  I
found the original one that worked well back in the 80-90's, but DosBox
doesn't seem to want to play with it.  It freezes during the conversion of a
16kb .gif file.  I used to like using it to get a head start on the basic
outline prospective of a drawing, and help with shadowing.  I don't care if
the converter only does grayscale, but those I've found online spit out
garbage (as in a bunch of numbers/letters ..)

File I found:   ANSICV22.EXE combined with READGIF.EXE ... readgif is what
freezes in DOSbox.
