Batch MS DOS ASCII to Web Converter Script
A little script that converts MS DOS ASCII files, such as NFO’s?? or FILE_ID.DIZ text files (Code Page 437, USA) to Unicode?? and HTML encoded files that can be used to display the ASCII art, specifically the “High ASCII” or block ASCII art on a web site. The script is written in VBScript, but the release package also includes a Windows executable, which is the VBScript converted via VBSEdit by Adersoft. I used the same script to prepare the ASCIIs in my text art galleries on my web site, such as: My ASCII Art Gallery My Early ASCII Art Gallery Various ASCII Art by Others or my FILE_ID.DIZ Collection just to name a few. NOTE: An Updated Version of the Script is also available now! You can download the script here: ??
