I think Lanpar would be VERY interested in knowing it too if it can ever
be done: to view high-res graphics on an ASCII terminal.

IMHO, I don't think this can ever be done, if I understood correctly that
you wanted to "preview" a PostScript in its final output form, not just
to "view" the PostScript code, on an ASCII terminal. I hope I am wrong
and such beast did exist. It will make everyone life easier.
