Asci-art/formatted text to Mushcode convertor

Asci-art/formatted text to Mushcode convertor

alt.ascii-art · 1 message · 3 Jul 1998
As someone who used to spend a lot of time on muses/mushes, I was constantly
spending time converting by hand ascii art into mushcode (replacing spaces
with [space()] functions, escaping out bad characters, etc). Finally I wised
up and wrote a little windows program that will do it for me.  I spread it
among some friends, and they thought it was handy, so I figured I'd
announce it so anyone can use it.

It's available at ftp://nexus.v-wave.com/pub/muconv.zip

It will read to/from a file or the windows clipboard.  The simplest way to
use it is to copy the ascii art to the windows clipboard, click on convert,
and then the art in the clipboard is replaced with the mushcode that can be
pasted directly into your favourite mu* client.

It is configurable for various mushes, muses that are out there.  The default
settings will work with TinyMush, TinyMux, PennMUSH, AlloyMush, and more
I'm sure.  A couple of clicks will make it work with TrekMuse/TinyMuse.

I find it handy for not only importing ascii art, but for bringing into
a mush any large set of text.  All the formatting is preserved once it
is run through muconv.

If you find bugs, have suggestions, or just have a comment, drop me an email.

Hope you find it useful.
