Try http://artpacks.acid.org/. They have many DOS viewers of ascii art and maybe you can find one that you can copy/paste to a Windows immage editor.

I have a file created in a DOS program that uses the extended IBM ascii character set -- made up, here, of the line-drawing characters -- and need to translate these images into a standard graphics format.
I can print the file in Postscript using LetterGothic, and scan it, but the slight mis-registration of lines makes for a rather messy output. I can't display any single image completely in the program that created it, so I can't grab the image using something like HiJaak DOSCap or HiJaak Capture, nor will it display correctly in any standard windows editor I own.
Can anybody suggest a way of producing a standard output image file from this ascii file? An answer will be greatly appreciated.
