I'd agree that there's not a lot of point in finding an image somewhere and then just running it through a converter. However, having had a go at converting, I'd have to say that the people who convert well - preparing the graphic before it's converted, and then 'retouching' the output - are very skilled indeed (I find doing ascii by hand far easier than getting a conversion looking good). -- James Mitchelhill approx. email - azi...@tcp.co.unitedkingdom website is currently dead
