I'm really sorry but this is one of the poorest (and pointless) programs I have ever seen relating to ASCII. If it re-sampled I could see a vague use but, as is, it simply removes columns and rows of characters.!? Besides, I think this form of "ASCII art" (and I use the term loosely) is utter crap and should be refered to as something else (like: "ANSI art" without any ANSI!). (or talent!) :nathaN P.S. no dis-respect to sTiLe intended.
