It's possible to save an image of what's your screen. On a Mac it's 
CMD-SHIFT-3.  I don't know how it's done on a wintel computer, but it's 
possible.
Just open your ascii image in some texteditor and make a screenshot. In 
a graphic editing program open the screenshot, cut all the parts you 
don't need and convert the image to GIF. That's all.

On a PCthere's a lovely little button called "print screen" which does
the same :) Usually it's above you insert key, which is above delete,
which is above your arrow keys...

You can also press alt + printscreen to isolate just the one window

but mind that both the key combinations only work in windows 95 and
higher.. in pure dos they usually output the screen directly to your
printer (on LPT1)

  Thank Bamboo for your explanation. How kind you are!

There's a program called pict2ascii. Unfortunately in many cases the 
results aren't really good, but as a starting point they are ok.  
You can download the app at: 
http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10217-100-870998.html?tag=st.dl.1000
5-103-1.lst-7-3.870998  
(Make sure you copy the entire URL and paste it into your browsers 
adressbar). Good luck !

Hence "Printscreen".

Paint Shop Pro comes with a very good screen shot grabber, including one where
you select the exact area you want to grab. it's also able to save direct into
gif, and is generally the best graphics package I've come across.

If you mean the GIF picture you just produced (i.e. one of ascii art) then it's
probably quickest to copy it by hand. Otherwise, take a look at one of the
conversion programs (www.jave.de is an excellent one to play with, it's an ascii
art editor as well as including the image conversion and a lot of other advanced
features. Definately a sign that students have far too much free time!*

If you want dos print screen to file you can set lpt1>filename.txt usually
works.  or something like mode con=lpt1. Each depending on dos version.

I like your webpage , very simplistic.
I like your fine ascii-art even better.
And I take joy in the fact that I with two clicks can go from cute
ascii-pictures on your page to a page headlining :

"Playing with Anal Toys"
"Finding the Right Dildo"
and
"Choosing a Vibrator"

I like the contrast of that. *s*

whaps,that wuz fer a screen poof.What ya gots to do fer a
screen shot is,get yaself a bottle of xxx screen cleaner,
and a shotgun shell.Take that shot shell an cut off the end
where its puckered up,and then ya jus pour out the lead stuff
and fill it up with the screen cleaner and stick it in ya
12 gauge.Bottoms up,an trigger pulled,that right there will
shurnuff clean yer screen.Stick with the highbrass types
though,they got more of a kick.

Well others spend more than an hour a day watching tv. I don't like
doing that and so I spend about an hour a day working on Jave and
reading ascii art newsgroups.
And by working on Jave a learn a lot about writing software, product
support, etc. So I see this project as part of my degree. :)
