<!-- evil HTML -->
<IFRAME src="asciiimage.txt" type="text/plain" width="about 50"
height="about 50">
If you can't see this, you have a frames-impaired browser like Netscape or
Lynx.<br>
Use <a href="asciiimage.txt">this link</a> to see the picture!
</IFRAME>
<!-- </evil> -->

Of course that's what W3 wants you to use, rather than using ASCIIart in
pages because of their accessibility bits. (Or "OBJECT" instead of
"IFRAME".)

What would be ideal is to use "text/asciiart" but my browser doesn't
recognize it (and doesn't display it. Grr.)
