Linux console image to ASCII conversion

Linux console image to ASCII conversion

Hi,
I installed AA-Lib on my linux server because I want to convert on the 
fly all the images on my web site and make a lynx friendly version of 
the site with ascii images.

The problem is that I need to call aview from a php page, but if I call:

"aview image.pnm > image.txt"

the output file is a binary one... (!)

Do you know a way to convert on the fly and from console an image to a 
text ascii file?

Thanks a lot.
