	Hey, I know everybody here is a big fan of hand made ASCII art, but I am working
on a program that I want to be able to incorporate ASCII art into. My program needs to be
able to display an image over telnet on the command line. I need to know what the best
ascii art generating program is out there that I can either get a x86 linux compiled
binary for or the source code to. Any help would be so much appreciated.

Generating ASCII-Art is just done with a simple Editor (on Linux ie VI (or
better VIM) or emacs). Viewing it should be possible with any text-viewer,
"less" will do well :)

There are some programs which will convert GIF to ASCII, but this looks
usually quite bad.
