Your use of extended ascii characters will make the pictures only look right
in Windows and perhaps DOS.

For maximum audience, stick to the following characters...

032 sp   048 0   064 @   080 P   096 `   112 p
033 !    049 1   065 A   081 Q   097 a   113 q
034 "    050 2   066 B   082 R   098 b   114 r
035 #    051 3   067 C   083 S   099 c   115 s
036 $    052 4   068 D   084 T   100 d   116 t
037 %    053 5   069 E   085 U   101 e   117 u
038 &    054 6   070 F   086 V   102 f   118 v
039 '    055 7   071 G   087 W   103 g   119 w
040 (    056 8   072 H   088 X   104 h   120 x
041 )    057 9   073 I   089 Y   105 i   121 y
042 *    058 :   074 J   090 Z   106 j   122 z
043 +    059 ;   075 K   091 [   107 k   123 {
044 ,    060 <   076 L   092 \   108 l   124 |
045 -    061 =   077 M   093 ]   109 m   125 }
046 .    062 >   078 N   094 ^   110 n   126 ~
047 /    063 ?   079 O   095 _   111 o

These should be the same on every modern computer system, and most old ones
too...

the best ADA Mirror for you, but you can find a list of mirrors yourself on
