+img2xterm (display images on the terminal)
+
+img2xterm is a program that can display bitmap images on 256-colour
+terminals by converting them into Unicode block characters and xterm
+compatible control sequences. It can also convert images to cowfiles,
+for use with cowsay(6).
+
+No checking is done on the terminal size. Each character cell in the
+terminal gets a 2x2 block of pixels, so if your terminal is 80x25, the
+largest image it can display is 160x50 pixels.
+
+This is known to work with xterm, konsole, and xfce4-terminal
+from Slackware 14.2; and rxvt-unicode (urxvt) and st from
+SlackBuilds.org. Plain rxvt doesn't seem to support 256-color mode,
+so it won't work there. Sadly, it doesn't work in the Linux console
+either.
+
+The package includes the GIMP palette mentioned in the README.md, and
+an RMS cowfile. Try: cowsay -f rmshd "Hello"
