Hi,

I have written a free ascii editor for drawing diagrams. Its name is
Jave (Java ASCII Versatile Editor) and it can be used like a graphics
editor, but the result is pure ascii.

Here are some of the features:
 - Freehand painting with mouse
 - Select/fill/mirror/flip/move regions.
 - Shape tool for Ellipses/Rectangles
 - Image2Ascii-converter with 2 ascii algorithms
   and a converter to braille
 - FIGlet tool
 - Textboxes
 - Makros

The tool is written in Java and should run on any platform with a Java
Runtime Environment 1.1 or greater installed. There is also an applet
version online - but it has a lot of restrictions.

Both the applet and the application can be found here:
  http://www.jave.de

It was not in the first place intended for ascii art, but maybe it will
be useful.
Unfortunately there are still lots of bugs and inconveniences.

Let me know what you think about it.

Markus
