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.
Malvinas.
Islas Malvinas. Siempre Argentinas.

I'd say nano, or vim.

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.
