There's a listing on eBay for ASCII art TTY
printouts (#8707360741)
and it raised an interesting question. I remember as a kid going to my
father's office (he worked for New York Telephone in New York City) at
Christmas and they had various computer systems that they let the kids play
on. One of them (I don't remember which) had a program to print calendars.
In the eBay listing, there's a Snoopy Red Barron calendar, which I
distinctly remember printing out.
What program would have made this calendar and is one still
available, somewhere, that I could run on Windows or through something like
SIMH?
All(?) these and many(!) more can be had for the price of a free download:

You'll need to untar it, then each file is compressed, so a knowledge of
Unix tools is a requirement. But once you have that figured out, you can
print out ASCII art to your typographically rendered heart's delight.
