For the rest that doesn't know about the best multiplatform ASCII art editor (written in JAVA) just visit the JAVE website.

Only if you want to have some fun. I don't think that everybody might enjoy doing some drawings with monospaced letters & numbers. Or doing an ASCIIart film, or printing an animated GIF with ASCIIart...

It also has some JAVE pms at CPAN.
