Chris,

The data you see is probably in hexadecimal.  The coding is:
0 -> 0000
1 -> 0001
2 -> 0010
3 -> 0011
4 -> 0100
5 -> 0101
6 -> 0110
7 -> 0111
8 -> 1000
9 -> 1001
A -> 1010
B -> 1011
C -> 1100
D -> 1101
E -> 1110
F -> 1111

In my XP2 assembler for the Mac, included on the Supercharger CD, I
allow binary data to include "." as 0 and option-8 (solid bullet) as
a 1.  The graphics really stand out well and are suitable for editing
without a separate tool.

At a minimum, I suggest that graphic data be converted & posted as
binary, i.e.
	
	dc.b	%...1....
	dc.b	%...1....
	dc.b	%...1....
	dc.b	%..111...
	dc.b	%.11111..
	dc.b	%1111111.
	dc.b	%1111111.
	dc.b	%...1....

(or substitute 0 for the . if your assembler isn't so kind.)
