    Greg,

    I saw Your ASCII drawings that You used ASCGEN to make.

    07-28-10 Trying out ascii pictures

    I remember in my US Navy days back in the early '60s seeing ASCII ART
    sent over the Navy Teletype Circuits during the CHRISTmas Holidays.

    I've also seen Amateur Radio (Ham) Teletype ASCII ART,
    and even some in a Echo for ASCII ART.

    I wondered how to do it, and You introduced me to the program that CAN!

    I downloaded the program and the Tutorial but haven't tried it on a
    Photo yet, I have to find that thar elusive ROUNDTUIT.

    Thanks a lot!

    You bet!! ASCII art makes the BBS's unique. I think I used ASCGEN and then had to play with the characters, adding some of my own, deleting others. But it gives you a good start.

    So try something and put it on here. Would love to see what you come up with.
