Yes, it's a very good piece of software, but you seem to be responding to a lot of posts saying "yes, that's good, but use this - it's better". It is starting to get a bit repetative, to me at least What I would find more interesting as far as image > ascii goes is a "competition" where several people convert the same image(s) using their preffered converters, to give us a full comparison of the results. Anyone with web space willing to host something like that? -- o |\ _[] L_ === Stuart Moore []\, stm
