 ... ok ? ... so the ansi stuff drawn 80 chars ? ... dos format ?
 did you then convert them to gif or redraw the ansi as a gif ?

[][ps] i understand about the 79 char limit from vt100/vt220 days

hah ha ... i actually drew the original in 1977 :)

i scanned it with an hp.deskscanII into an 505x382x16M bmp
then cut the centrepiece (approx 5%) out and painfully resized and
adjusted it till it was about 79 pix across and still showed its colours
... altho reduced to 16 ...
then into the converter only to come out as mush :(
... reduce colours further to 4 or 2 ... bit more recogniseable result
adjust the aspect ratio a little ... try again ...

... would prob'ly've been quicker by hand ... altho' did give me a
framework to work from

this is part of another pic reduced to two colours then converted ...
