: Gif to ASCII questions.
: I think there are tools in the pbmplus suite to do this sort of thing
: A sequence something like
: giftoppm
: ppmtopgm
: pgmtopbm
: pbmtoascii
: Should do thr trick. It's a bit of a convoluted way to do it (4 stages) but
: it worked last time I tried it.
How about :
giftoppm filename.gif | ppmtopgm | pgmtopbm | pbmtoascii >filename.asc
It works - honest! But the pictures seem to consist soley of 'o's and are
massive...
