When I was in high school in 1978 I was an operator on a Honeywell GCOS
system that had some of the most amazing ascii art I've ever seen.

It was printed on a 132 coumn band printer and used extensive
overstriking.  The two pictures I have are:

    - the head of horse
    - the face of Jesus with a crown of thorns

I still have the printed output.  It is absolutely amazing.  From a
few feet back it looks like a black and white photo.

I believe I also have a deck of cards (yow!) that has some of the
output.

Does anyone:
	remember these
	have access to these
	have any use for the punchcards?

I've thought about donating them to the Computer Museum in Cambridge.
I'ld also consider sending them out to someone who be motivated to
reverse engineer the picture.
