    I'm thinking about publishing articles in the form of an electronic magazine, distributed in a .zip with a few text files with the
    articles. Which software should I use? I would like it to be in ascii format and have some level of ascii art decor where the text would be inserted.

    I'd use any console text editor, just for consol-ey goodness. With most windowed text editors, you run into issues with word wrapping - change
    the size and you change where it wraps, which you don't want with a text editor.

    There are a ton of editors for DOS, TSEPro for Windows, and Linux
    distros all have nano, vi and joe available.
