Hello CeeJay,

Thanks for making good publicity for my little tool :-)

Great, I am very much looking forward for that.
I have not receive much feedback for the new release yet :-(

As for my work on JavE I have already fixed a few bugs and implemented a
new feature that will be part of the next release: The "Camelizer". Here
is an example:

                            The
      Camel            izer is a t
ool that take        s any kind of t
 ext and forms       it into a given
    shape. Th    e shape is tak en fr
  om a GIF/BM  P/JPG image and   it onl
  y takes li  ttle e    ffort to create
  Ascii imag es like      this one. I di
  d not have a good        id ea     for a
   name  for this to  ol, so I d    ecided
   to cal  l  it "Ca mel  izer". This is bec
     ause p ropably the most famous exam ple
        for this effect is a nice Perl p rog
             ram formed int o the   shap e
             of a   camel.  Have    fun  w
             ith t  he cam  eliz    er -
              it   is not    ava     ila
             ble   ye t     , bu     t w
             ill     be     p        art
              of       t  he          v
             er        y n           ex
            t          releas        e
            o        f JavE.        Sta
        y tune                     d!

Well, that's right: Other programs claimed that long time ago, but for
JavE it's true. And one should also mention that JavE is freeware and it
runs on almost any OS (with support for a Java Runtime Environment -
BTW: don't mix up "Java" and "JavE").

Now I think it is time to once again tell the URL from where to downlaod
it:
  http://www.jave.de

Don't forget to mention that it has little or no calories and that in
every 7th download package there is an extra surprise included! Now
that's amaaaaazing - isn't it? ;-)

Yours faithfully,
Markus
