Someone wrote me and suggested that I load the file into paintbrush as
text and shrink it... I've found a better way, but it *is* dependent on
the fonts you have on your system.

I load the ascii into Word for Windows, "Select All", and change the font
to "Terminal" at size 4.5. I then "Print Preview" and press
'print-screen', hence putting a bitmap onto the clipboard.
I then tidy it up in Paintbrush.

But, unfortunately, it's a bit of a hack, and I recently noticed one of
the assumedly regular posts on anti-aliasing and such, and wondered if
anyone had come up with an executable which decodes the text in that way?
