Here's the program from the "Area Dev Rules" at the top of this forum: http://download.com.com/3000-2381-2808033.html?tag=lst-0-1.
 
It seems like a nice program, as long as the maps don't get too big.

I saw your map.  It was pure ascii.  I reccommend mapping it in the program, taking a screen shot, and paste in mspaint.  Simple editing there.

You could also go to File -> Save As and select the .bmp file format.  Same end result as taking a screen shot, it just saves you a whole 10 seconds.

For some reason whenever I try to save something as bmp in ascii map maker, it cuts up half the image. I always have to end up taking a screen shot and pasting it into ps7.

I've found that MS Paint is a nice map making tool  Wink
I have some images ready-made for map-making with MS Paint if anyone would like to use them just message me on AIM as Derrogative and i'll send them to you in a zip file, or you can download them from my site http://SamusMaps.vze.com/.

Dude, why don't you e-mail the creators instead? As far as I know, this isn't the 'ASCII Mapmaker Support'.
