One is named ascgif, for unix. I've got the source in C if you need, but
else, you can find it, and other ones, in Yahoo: Arts: Computer
generated: Ascii Art and then search a bit, or there:



   You can make them from scratch if you are a very good ASCII artist.
An
easier way is to use a program called 'ASCGIF'.  There is also Gifscii
(with
a version for the Mac), ANSIrez and GIF2ANSI for the PC.  These programs
makes an ASCII pic from any image you can convert to a GIF.


   11.  Where can I get these?

   You can FTP ASCGIF from:

       >  host: usc.edu
          path:
/archive/usenet/sources/comp.sources.misc/volume30/ascgif

       >  host: wuarchive.wustl.edu
          path: /usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume30/ascgif

       >  host: ftp.uu.net
          path: /usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume30/ascgif

   You can get GIF2ANSI from:

       >   bbs: Exec-PC (414) 789-4210
                GIF2ANSI.ZIP is in the "Mahoney MS-DOS" file collection.
