I just discovered that pbm+ has a pbmtoascii command which works fine.
I wrote code to use more grey values (more chars), but pbm+ is more
general purpose and flexible.
Thanks to everyone who replied. Here is a picture of Meryl Strep from the
cover of Life magazine converted from Sun Raster to ascii:
% rasttopbm < mstreep | pbmreduce 7 | pbmtoascii
