Request: Good GIF to ASCII converter?

Does anyone know of a good program to convert a .GIF (or some other 
reasonable graphics file format) to an ASCII image, preferably with 
control over parameters such as character mappings, aspect ratios, and 
the actual size to translate the image into (such as 80x25 as well as 
80x50)?
