____ Are there any ASCII tools? \O ,

Not many. The Emacs editor offers some help, if you know how to use it.
There are a couple of bits of Emacs code in the Scarecrow's FTP site.
EmacsMouseCode let's you draw with a mouse, and EmacsFigletCode let's you use
Figlet within Emacs.
Q-Edit and "vedit" are ASCII editors with block cut and paste. And
TheDraw can do some ANSI tricks but is limited by RAM size.
There are Unix and DOS scripts for flipping an ASCII pic (like "modasc" by
Ric Hotchkiss). BBSdraw is available for the Amiga. So is CygnusEd, which
allows column editing. And also the TPU editor for VAX. And then there's
"mdraw.el" for GNU Emacs 19 under X, that lets you draw ASCII with a mouse.
Erik Downie is working on an ASCII tool for the Amiga. Also available for
the Amiga are BBSdraw and CygnusEd (the latter allows column editing). And
there's the TPU editor for VAX.
