Bitmap to ASCII Converter

Hi, I just finished writing a program that converts Bitmaps to ASCII art.
Unlike GIF to ASCII, it uses a 1:1 conversion system, with each letter being
8 pixels in size. The output is best viewed with Terminal font at 5 or 6pts.
This is my first public release, so tell me what you think!

You can download the program (about 100k) from http://alexy.cjb.net/ and it
comes with a couple of sample documents and online help.
