Thanks for the info. I got a Gifscii for mac from the same site but am
having problems using it. 
Specifically, When I launch the program it asks me for the name of the GIF
file. Then it asks me for the number of columns and rows. I tried picking
different positive integers but I get the same result. In the end it says,
not a 87a GIF file.
Here is an example:
---------------------
What is the name of the gif file?
test.GIF

Output will be sized to the number of lines and columns you specify

Lines     Columns    Lines        Columns
Spec.      Spec.     Output       Output
-----      -----     -----         -----
  0          0       GH/10        GW/6
  0          C       C*GH/GW*.6   C
  L          0       L            L*GW/GH/.6
  L          C       L            C

GW = GifWidth, GH = GifHeight

How many columns to create? 10

How many lines to create? 15
Not an 87a GIF file...
--------------------------------------

Thank you.

I found that if the .gif file is in the same folder as the Gifscii, then it
works.  Maybe that will help you.  If not, then well...I don't know.
