[sdiy] converting old SDIY "gifs" back to images

[dan snazelle]

In the old days of SDIY, a lot of people used to post their schematics as text...

it would look like this

S)LZ?/GT"#"AU*$P#1HTA=&DW*M.G1I0.A"C0*E6I!J?^P6IU*4.K6
MJ`:Q<AWK-&O9LV at SBDW+MJW;MR?7PIW+5B[=NW at A:C7;-6%5L&3[`N8[>/!?
MP7L#H[3[D''>QT(=0YX,>>]6KP`R+]6<>2IFS84%]^6\.>SHT!PE1[2KFK+K
MFZTI?[T,]G#HKXI?Z\8IMC3AAE9][^YI^?1HSE$[=U7.,_;PY]`?]^[H//K+
MX%S_>BW,/++U@[-Q


my question is how to take this stuff and turn it back into an image


i tried just putting it into a notebook file and changing the extension to .gif but no luck


if I could get this to work, it would open up a lot of new schematics from the past!

thanks
