and feed into ASC2PIC (By Me <g>)
Take screengrab of it and load into Paint Shop Pro 5... resampled to 50% of the
original and then ASCIIfied using BMP2ASC:

I think the resolution I had my DOS window at when I took the screengrab
affected the resize slightly, but you can make out the cow after resize ok so
now all we need is a program that can do this! I might have a go, I`ve already
made the first part of it (Put ascii art on screen as picture) in my ASC2PIC
program.
