I'm afraid your picture got munged. It looks like you used a variable width
font; try Lucida Console, Terminal, or Courier New.

There were also a few non-ascii characters (like �) which aren't guaranteed to
look the same on all systems. I've replaced them with their nearest ascii
equivalents. The FAQ has a list of valid ascii characters.

Here's what I think your pic was supposed to look like; it's hard to tell
exactly because I don't have the same font. If it's not quite right, fix it up
and post it again.
