Question ID: 534887
I'm looking for a giant ASCII art poster of the U.S.S. Enterprise from
the original Star Trek series.  This poster was around 4-6 feet long
and showed the Enterprise coming out at the viewer at a slight angle. 
It included a great deal of detail (including detail on the reflector
dish).  It consisted entirely of ASCII symbols and was designed to
print on a line printer (wider than 11"--maybe more around 16").  The
ASCII art file was orginally circulating in the 1970s around the time
when the original series aired.  I'm looking for a source where I can
download the ASCII file that produces this image.

Hello scotru-ga,

Here's a site with a collection of Start Trek ASCII art. Are any of
these the one you're looking for?

In left navigation menu scroll down the list of files under The
Collection until you reach Star Trek.

Let me know if one of these is the answer. Thanks.

Thanks for your response, but I'm afriad that none of these are what
I'm looking for.  The one I'm after is much larger than these (it's
about 4 feet long by about 16") and designed to print on an old line
printer.

Not sure whether it is the one you are looking for, but if it isn't I
hope that you managed to find it.

Im not sure of where to find the source, but I believe the image you
are referring to may have come from this magazine ..

http://www.atariarchives.org/bcc2/showpage.php?page=162

It was available around 1976 through this company and their magazine
"Creative Computing". The image shown on this archive of the magazine
seems to fit your description. Im still looking to see if I can track
an actual ASCII source, so Ill keep you posted.
