Your best bet is to get version 4.0 of your AOL software, and set your
display font to some fixed-spaced font such as Courier, Topaz New, or Fixed
Sys.

ASCII art, especially that contained here, is expressly intended to be
viewed in fixed-width fonts lik the above.

I think someone came up with a patch for lesser versions of AOL's software,
but I can't remember who.
