This small utility displays your desktop as ASCII art. It is a live display so everything you do on the desktop is reflected on the ASCII art display.
Press the ESCAPE key to exit the tool !
This is not a real display driver. In fact, the tool just creates a large animating window on top of your desktop. You do not have to install a device driver to run the tool. It is however a very CPU and memory hungry tool. It only runs on Windows 2000 or better.
Notes
It appears that in Windows 10, the tool is no longer working correctly.
