BUGS
Several ASCII characters are not defined, notably <, >, [, ], \, ^, _, {,
}, |, and ~. Also, the characters ", ', and & are funny looking (but in
a useful way.)
The -w option is implemented by skipping some rows and columns. The
smaller it gets, the grainier the output. Sometimes it runs letters
