but i pirated it :)

it's from some include files on the ibm rs/6000, this is one of the
formats for bitmaps --the . - and # map to colors. this may be a X11 and
not an ibm thing so anybody using X11 might want to take a peak in a path
something like /usr/lpp/X11/include/X11/bitmaps/ (probably different on
other systems). on linux i guess the pics'd be 'copy lefted' otherwise 
the're probably only good to look at not to post... (X11 is a unix 
windowing system for those of other faiths)

  so if anybody is planning on buying a high end graphics workstation to do 
their ascii art they might want to consider the rs/6000 (plug to try to 
keep me out of trouble w/ ibm's lawyers :)

or here's another (trying to keep disputed the 
negative-logic-twos-compliment 0x010 frogsteins):
