Sadly, AAlib depends heavily on the ability to set differing levels of grey
or color. And it tends to be optimized for moving images. Neither of which
is useful for textmode browsers (which are often displayed on vt100 style
devices without finegrained color control..Though it would be an amusing way
to render animated gifs. What you really want is something more along
the lines of old lineprinter art generation tools...like those I bounced a moment ago.
