Hi. A few years ago, I saw a small Macintosh program that could convert
a MacPaint picture into plain ASCII text file. Say, if I input a MacPaint
file consisting of a flower, the output of that program looks something
like this:
.-~~-.--.
: )
.~ ~ -.\ /.- ~~ .
> `. .' <
( .- -. )
`- -.-~ `- -' ~-.- -'
( : ) _ _ .-:
~--. : .--~ .-~ .-~ }
~-.-^-.-~ \_ .~ .-~ .~
\ \' \ '_ _ -~
`.`. //
. - ~ ~-.__`.`-.//
.-~ . - ~ }~ ~ ~-.~-.
.' .-~ .-~ :/~-.~-./:
/_~_ _ . - ~ ~-.~-._
~-.<
I think I saw this little public domain program in the M.I.T. Microcomputer
Center (in the basement of MIT student center). The program should be
registered with Boston Computer Scoiety. But I do not remember the name
of this program.
So would anyone kindly tell me what's the name of this program, where may
I download it and where may I look for more info. about it? Thanks a lot!
