     Thanks.

     Oh no, I didn't have to reduce the size of the pictures, the "ansmenu"
pics above were all drawn in 80 pixel size, what I should have said was, during
the conversion, you need to specify that the output be 79 lines instead of the
80 (if indeed the picture is 80 across) that I had drawn them in (originally,
they were ment for ANSI conversion for BBSs I called).
     I wasn't too clear, sorry.

     Hey, it looks fine to me. It reminds me of some of those generic posters
that lined the hallways of my grade school in the mid seventies. :)
