   It appears to not be ``pure'' ascii (I don't know if that is actually   
   important to your application)   
      
   The first two lines of the astronaut have charactors that render as   
   question marks on my system:

   As well as the "'" in "It's" in the 1st quoted like above.   
      
   From the faq:   
   What does ASCII mean?   
      
   ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)   
   7-bit as defined in ISO-646 is a basic set of 128 numbered symbols which   
   almost all kinds of computer can display. Here are the ones that are used   
   for ASCII art:

    041 ) 057 9 073 I 089 Y 105 i 121 y

    044 , 060 < 076 L 092 \ 108 l 124 |   
    045 - 061 = 077 M 093 ] 109 m 125 }   
    046 . 062 > 078 N 094 ^ 110 n 126 ~   
    047 / 063 ? 079 O 095 _ 111 o   
      
   There are other characters in the set (with the numbers 0 - 31 and 127),   
   but they can do bad stuff to Usenet readers, so PLEASE DON'T USE THEM in   
   your pictures (except characters 10 and or 13 which are used to insert a   
   new-line by a variety of Operating Systems).
