Looking for...

Okay.... This was some time ago (back in the days of the PDP-11 and
the height of the VAX)...  My friend had a multi-page version of a
picture of the moon.  It was pure ASCII (printed on a big-ass
lineprinter), and composed of several pieces of paper taped together.
The whole image consumed an entire wall of his room.  This picture
used to exist on the college's VAX system, which has since been
retired.  I've been looking for this picture for several years now,
but can't seem to find it.  Do any of you ASCII gods have it or know
where I could get it?  Thanks!

A picture of the *moon* printed on a *big-ass* line printer?
You must be joking.

Krogg, he actually found it? Im curious as to who and where would actually
have one still in existence...i remember around in the '80's you could print
out banners on continuous paper on the matrix and they were all in ascii,
kind of like a mutant FABS..HUGE HUGE..also with various images to choose
from like birthday cakes, houses, wine glasses in ascii.

wow, im having a flashback :)
