I totally disagree.  This IS ascii art.  The fact that it came in
postscript format is just because today's printers don't always understand
the carriage control of yesterday's line printers.  I think this is
a whole lot more appropriate than the gif to ascii conversions that
abound.  I would love to see more.

Specifically, when I was in college (long, long ago), there was one
of these overprint files floating around that was Spock holding a
model of the Enterprise (that's how long ago it was).  Has anyone
still got that?  And postscript format would be perfect.
