Beatles Art?

1. *Please*! Does anyone have any ascii art of The Beatles which they
could send me? Either as individuals or as a group?
2. When I last subscribed to this group I saw frequent mention of a
program which could "convert" .gif files into ascii art. Despite
trawling the addresses which were sent to me I never managed to find it.
Does anyone *really* know if this program exists; have they used it and
where can I find it? If it really is out there I would love someone to
let me know.
Thanks a lot folks.
Take care
Colin

Here is the list I have now. I have not been to any of these sites but these sites keep getting posted to this art group. I will go to these sites this weekend just to make sure they are there. I will tho give you the list now before I forget to send you it, ok? Host: ftp.wwa.com Address: 198.49.174.1 Path: pub/Scarecrow/Gifscii URL: ftp://ftp.wwa.com/pub/Scarecrow/Gifscii or Host: ftp.ncsu.edu Path: pub/ncsu/chking URL: ftp://ftp.ncsu.edu/pub/ncsu/chking or Host: usc.edu Path: archive/usenet/sources/comp.sources.misc/volume30/ascgif URL: ftp://usc.edu/archive/usenet/sources/comp.sources.misc/volume30/ascgif or Search http://www.shareware.com's Macintosh directory for 'ascii.' or The BMP2TXT program can be found at: http://www.bsoftware.com/a17c68p0.htm This last one is Bitmaps tho. It is the newest member to the list so it is worth a shot to go there.
