thats the point. special "line"asciis are translated to "+","-" or "|"
signs
ex:
               +-------+
             +-++-----+++   +----+
      +------++-+ ++  +++--+�+--++--+
     +��+------+  �++  �--+++�  �--++------+
+   +���� +--+ ++ � �  �  �--�  �  +-+ +-++++
+---����� �  �  � � �  �  �  �  �    +-� �++++   +
+   +���� ++ �  �++-+ ++  �  �  �  ++  � �++++---�
     +��++ +-+ +++-----+        �  �++   �++++   +
      +-+�  +--++-----++--+   +-�  � ++  �+++
        �+--++--+     +--++---+ �  �+++--+++
        +----+           +-----++--+�+----+
                               +----+

in the dos version, its very easy to read, cus it consists of
simple outlines, but now you might vaguely guess the the "W" and
the "N"

nope the size is [80x50]. the example isnt meant to fill the screen,
hence the size. your pic is nice, but i think it shall fill the whole
screen.

cool work, 
but forget about the frame and concentrate on the letters, make them
bigger, more detailed, and it'd be perfect. you may add a small
signature, or initials of yours to the pic, i will keep them.
