Does anyone have or know of a software program that helps in creating
ascii images?

I do most of my stuff with emacs.  Though some items are done through
notepade, though I don't recomend this to anyone.

Jave ( http://www.jave.de ) is IMO the easiest to use and best program for
creating ascii-art

Why not just suggest vi and get it over with ;)

I am an emacs user and only use vi when I have no other choice, like
editing my nethackrc file on nethack.alt.org, so I am not up on all
its abilities.  One of the things in emacs that makes ascii easier is
its picture-mode which is basically like filling a file with a few
thousand ' ' spaces and adding typeover like if the insert key did
anything on a unix system.   Does vi have such a mode?

I don't think it has that capability built in. I bet it would be pretty easy
to write a script to do it though.

This sounds much like the virtualedit feature of Vim (":help
virtualedit").  If you do ":set virtualedit=all" you can enter replace
mode by pressing "R" then use the arrow keys to move the cursor
anywhere, and just type characters where you want them.

There's also a simple ASCII drawing script on vim.org:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=40

Because I use Emacs, not vi.
