Re: jpg->ascii

Re: jpg->ascii

I know only of 3 ascii converters - for BMP's or GIF's.  Though to use
them for JPG's just download a graphic program like Lview (do a search
on yahoo) and save the JPG as a BMP or GIF.

Here are the 3 that I know of:

CHARAC     Version 2.0         239 kb 
http://www.connect.usq.edu.au/students/q9523004/charac21.exe
     Converts BMPs to ascii, for WINDOWS. I forget the page where I
found
     this ... so I have linked it to my page. Although there seem to be
a few bugs,          (written for another language or somethin), this is
my one of choice. 

Ascii Art Generator     Version 1.0         110 kb 
http://www.connect.usq.edu.au/students/q9523004/asciiart.zip
     Converts BMPSs to ascii, for WINDOWS. I don't know where I got this
program
     from either. The only problem with this program is the ascii art it
creates is
     enormous! 

Alberty Pascal's ASCII Page 
http://www.info.fundp.ac.be/~pal/ascii.html
     Converts GIFs to ascii, for DOS 

Regards,

BTW: I did that Kanga below around 2 years ago and it's 'bout the only
ascii art I've done by hand. Seeing as I'm posting to an ascii group...
can anyone make it better? :)
