Here you go :

All you've got there is a link to Scarecrows FTP archive which
can be accesed directly :

ftp://ftp.wwa.com/pub/Scarecrow/Gifscii/

(Yes, it's Gifscii we are talking about. )
And you don't mention that simple fact either, so it
might look as ... well... :(

And, btw what's the ugly picture you put next to the link?

For anyone who looks for a Gif to Ascii program :

For a nice online converter go to Jobard Bruno's Gif/Jpg 
to Ascii Coverter 

http://www-lil.univ-littoral.fr/~jobard/PictextService/

(And to find Gifscii, which is a dos program to do it all on
your own PC, you only have to read the FAQ - see URL below.)
