   A while back, Rich Barrette wrote to me: "I am writing a FAQ for a 3DO 
game called GEX and would really like an awesome ASCII art header to go 
with it."

   I suggested that he post a request, and he did, but he received no 
response.  So he wrote back saying, "I read your faq and grabbed gifscii.  I 
then came up with this:"

   I decided to clean it up a bit, and to see if I could get some kind of 
effect going with it:
