: I think there are tools in the pbmplus suite to do this sort of thing

: A sequence something like

: giftoppm
: ppmtopgm
: pgmtopbm
: pbmtoascii

: Should do thr trick. It's a bit of a convoluted way to do it (4 stages) but
: it worked last time I tried it.

How about :

   giftoppm filename.gif | ppmtopgm | pgmtopbm | pbmtoascii >filename.asc

It works - honest!  But the pictures seem to consist soley of 'o's and are
massive...
