  • png to .ans

    From Malvinas@21:4/167 to All on Thursday, November 06, 2025 22:20:42
    Do you guys know of any tool, either for Windows or DOSBox, that can take a .png image and convert it into a 80x25 .ans file? I wrote a little tool to crate simple e-zines from .txt files, and would like to mix in between pages some .ans files. I'm trying to convert some copyright-less pics into .ans
    Thanks in advance for any tips you can give me.

    Cheers!

    I think people rather do opposite.

    What do I want a .png file for, if I intend to .zip up a handful of .ans files to be published as an e-zine, meant to be read with something like AcidView??
