TALK: ascii to gif (Re: GIF to ASCII)
Matthew Koglin: >Why would you want to convert an ASCII to a GIF?

Oh, maybe you have an ascii pic that looks particularly nifty with the font and colors you have, and you want to show everyone how great it looks. So you bring it up in a window, capture the pixmap, and convert it to a gif. (xwd | xbmtopnm | ppmtogif) You know, I think I just figured out what alt.binaries.pictures.ascii is *really* supposed to be used for. --
