Thank you for your contribution. I am sure many will find it interesting and useful. I recall a similar idea-program in the library. Can't remember the name right now ... wait ... it's CHIBIT.BA ... I remember now. The late Bill Templeton and I had tons of fun with CHIBIT back in the early '80s. It worked this way: The sender would... 1) Bbuild the ASCII graphic file or screen as a .DO file ... and have fun doing such, of course. 2) Use CHIBIT to code the .DO file, turning each 8-bit high character into its chr$ number. 3) Send the coded .DO file as either a message or an uploaded file. The receiver would... 1) Capture the coded file. 2) Run CHIBIT on the file and decode it, turning each chr$ into its 8-bit high character. 3) Look at the now-decoded file and enjoy.
