If you check out my site at:

http://www.ualberta.ca/~crnelson/display.html

you'll find what you need and more.  Display is a freeware tool that'll
convert *any* image format to either ascii or ansi (supports 24bit ANSI
too!).  Just remember to resize the image to 79 pixels wide so that the
resulting ascii/ansi file is only 79 characters wide and will fit on
screen (Display will do the resizing for you, of course).  Pressing "a"
invokes the ansi viewer, while "v" invokes the normal viewer (for ascii).
