There is also 'recode' package, however I found it a bit redundant, since

thanks, but i have one short picture, more or less 178 x 128 (in gimp
information). And the resolution becomes fine with a ascii file too
large... can i make (arguments) for aview produce a asci image equal the

There is a powerful perl program which converts
text to pdf directly, called "txt2pdf".
This is a shareware. I forget the URL, but the
link is available at freshmeat.net. As far as
I recall it was from Sanface Software.
I tried it a few months ago ... pretty good.

Let me throw my $0.02 cents in.
Rather than using whitespace to delineate those elements, for the little extra
effort involved in coding it might be worthwhile to use some non-standard (for
ascii that it) characters. That way you could do some consistency/error/
