Ahhh, I thought this thread died ages ago!

The original post (long time ago now) asked whether it was possible 
to put ASCII art in te alt= tag of an image so users not loading 
images could have an ASCII version instead. 

The end conclusion was that it is not possible (<pre> works in a few 
web browsers in the alt string but not all, <BR> won't work either 
'cause you can't have tags inside tags).
