It would be possible but it would not save space.  The pic takes up memory
just like a program.  The program would have to be smaller than a pic too.
Then you'd be wasting picsize-progsize.  A compression program would be more
probable.  CalcZip 83 has a nice sound to it but I doubt it would save much
space either.  Right now I'm trying to figure out Huffman compression.  Seems
simple enough but how well does it compress?

 As far as compressing ASM into a picture, I doubt it would be practical --
the
 maximum size of an ASM program that you could compress into a picture would
be
 768 bytes,
 and two, who's going to want to do it?
