best characters to make the edge.  Characters are also     @A****M@****@[

The program looks at pixel blocks of 2x3 pixels and        mmmmmmmmmmW@@[
selects a character that best matches that block.          *************!

You may want to adjust your IFF before conversion to       @PV@W.  !*M@b
compensate for this.  If you want to know more then have   @[ '@W.    V@[

The program assumes that any non background colour is      M@@Ws_
a colour.  For this reason you should use 2 colour           ~V@@@Wm_
images.  If you want to convert images with more colours       @['~*@@Wm.
then load them in to your favourite imgage processor           @[   _d@@[
and dither a 2 colour image from that.  ILBM2ASCII will        @bmW@@*f~
select a character whose density best matches the dither.   ,_m@@@*f~
