Mac tools for Ascii Art

Mac tools for Ascii Art

Since I've found Ascii art tools much harder to find for the mac than for the
 PC, here's some help for fellow Mac users.

I found two excellent programs at CNET's "download.com" site
 (http://www.download.com):

Pict2AsciiFAT 1.03: Excellent Pict to ASCII converter. Includes the ability to
 zoom in/out, auto contrast, optimization for screen or printer, allows you to
 choose from standard ascii characters or full use of the font, and allows you
 to change the font. All this on the fly! It will also automatically weed out
 the non-monospaced fonts if you choose.

Email Effects: The equivalent of MacPaint for Mac ASCII artists. It will
 automatically draw freehand, straight lines, rectangles, ovals and ASCII'd
 fonts (this feature could be better). Stretch, shrink, rotate, erase, fill,
 and other features all waiting for your artistic touch!

Check out download.com, and use the word "Ascii" to search for these and other
 programs (For Mac AND IBM).
