Display is a freeware viewer / converter that'll convert *any* image
format with any colour depth into an ascii or ansi image.  Remember to
resize the image to 79 pixels first so you get a 79 character wide ascii
file that'll fit on screen.  You'll probably need to do some work by hand
afterwards, as Display doesn't use a great variety of characters for the
rendering, but that's the story with any converter.

I have Display up at:
