ANSI art, need a little help.

I used to run a BBS back in the day, and I found some old ANSI art that my brother drew. I was wanting to somehow convert it to a gif or jpeg. I can't find a way to do it. Some of the work is to big to get all of it via a screen capture. Anyone know of a way to convert ANSI to a more web friendly graphics format?

Shouldn't be too hard to do. You should be able to do a "select all" of the text and paste it into any graphics program that supports text.

If you want you can email them to me and I'll convert them for you.

Cut and paste it? I don't think that would work... This is ANSI art not ASCII art.. I added an example to this post.. one of the ANSI arts that was small enough to get via screen capture.

Sure it'd work. All you'd have to do is do multiple screen captures to get all of it then paste those images together in PS or something.

Or why not just run a huge DOS window with really small fonts then you should be able to see it all in a window.

Well Crystaldragon said ""select all" of the text" and it won't work that way .. sure I can do multiple screen captures and stick them together. I was just looking for a simpler way to do it cause I'm lazy, or a program that would do it for me. Guess its time to open up gimp and mess around.

Sorry about that "text" stuff. But the technique still works.

Just go to edit-select all-then copy and then past into your graphics program. Then you can make any adjustments for file size and type you need.

The select all command will select all of the image even the part that you can't see on your screen.
