Using gifscii for DOS

I got the recently uploaded UUE file of GIFSCII for MS-DOS.  I am
happy to say I unencoded it and it works great.  I need some tips
though on using it.  Such as, what type of original picture works
best?  Black and white?  What should I tell it for number of lines
across and down for best effect and avoidance of distortion or
overcompressing?  What happens if I don't give it any values?  It
appears to go ahead and substitute some default values but the result
doesn't look that great.

Thanks for any tips on this.
