If you mean the GIF picture you just produced (i.e. one of ascii art) then it's
probably quickest to copy it by hand. Otherwise, take a look at one of the
conversion programs (www.jave.de is an excellent one to play with, it's an ascii
art editor as well as including the image conversion and a lot of other advanced
features. Definately a sign that students have far too much free time!*

*Bare in mind when reading this I'm about to become a uni student, and fully
intend to program in my free time, with luck charging for the privalege.
