Hi - thanks for all comments and hints * I heard of Emacs in ascii-art mode, but I don't want/use Emacs (nano is my favorite editor) * As I am a new (textbased) user of Linux (and don't have the knowledge of dman, Karsten & Co.) I am not familiar with programming, libraries, converters - I can handle .deb-packages or binaries only (sorry for my DOS-orientation) * To give you a feeling what kind of utility I am searching for I can send you the DOS-program 'textdraw' (I don't want to post it to the whole list) Greetings Dieter
