         Usenet is supposed to be an 80 column format, but an
original post should not be more than 77 columns (characters per line),
because people viewing ASCII pictures in pure DOS and Usenet mode
need a hard "carriage return and line feed" character and newsreaders
and some editors will wrap the 80th character.

         I manually moved the end of the first line down, and
it looks like the first 15 or 20 lines have about 120 characters,
and this is how much would have wrapped in a reply quote;
  .  .     . "  .  '

         The lines from 15 or so to about line 40 or so seem
to be short where no characters are needed, so no problem there.
         But from line 40 or so to the bottom of the picture,
the long lines appear again.

         Both windoze and linux do not use the two character
line termination characters that DOS does, so ASCII will work
best on all systems that support at least 80 characters per
line if a hard carriage return is placed at column 78.

         This may not take advantage of wider screen formats
available today, but it will make ASCII pictures display
properly on all systems (except older 64 column displays).
