The following Scarecrow's files are currently available:
File Name Version Size
o ASCII ART FAQ 2.3 42 K
Contains info on where to obtain ASCII art files, how to make
those big letters, how to have a sig added to your posts and
email, what ASCII art groups exist, where to get gray scale
converters, how to save and view an animation, and more.
o ASCII Art Resources 2.3 93 K
Contains everything in the FAQ, plus examples of every kind of
ASCII art, plus ANSI escape codes, and examples of most all
the Figlet fonts.
If you want everything in the Scarecrow's edited collection, get
all three of the following archives. Together, they contain over a
megabyte of every kind of ASCII art.
o The Scarecrow's ASCII Art Archive 1.0 349 K
Hundreds of goodies, plus special sections on sigs and BBS
art. Each item has a 'From:' line, and of course there's my
witty commentary. :-)
o The Scarecrow's ASCII Art Archive 2.0 362 K
Hundreds more goodies, sigs, BBS art, plus sig blanks, plan
art, more.
o The Scarecrow's ASCII Art Archive 3.0 369 K
Third in the series. More goodies, plus GIF Gallery, and more.
o The Scarecrow's ASCII Art Archive 4.0 364 K
More sigs, GIFs, and a Font Gallery. All four total around 1.5 megs.
If you want just the best, but you want some of everything, get
the Best of the Scarecrow's ASCII Art Archives. Contains art from
the first 3 SAAAs.
o Best of the SAAAs 1.0 610 K
If you only want certain kinds of ASCII art, choose from the
following files:
o Best of the ASCII Pics 1.0 205 K
The best pics from the first 3 SAAAs. No sigs, BBS art, GIFs, etc.
o Most Often Requested Edition 1.2 107 K
This file contains the pics everybody wants. Birthday pics,
animals, Star Trek, hearts and flowers, etc. Save time, get
this file instead of requesting someone post it and then
waiting for it.
o The Scarecrow's Funnies 2.1 68 K
Funny ASCII pix, cartoons, and humorous sigs.
o The Scarecrow's Font File 1.0 127 K
Do you just want a collection of fonts? Here it is, along
with some nice hand lettered pieces. (These are NOT .flf
fonts for use with the Figlet program.)
o Best of Scarecrow's Sig Gallery 1.2 207 K
Over 200 non-stop K of some of the best sigs I've seen. And
with people sending me sigs, I tend to see quite a few.
o Best of Scarecrow's BBS Gallery 1.3 88 K
Some of the best art from login sceens, server screens, MUDs, promos.
o Best of Scarecrow's GIF Gallery 1.1 62 K
The best GIF conversions I and others have done. Many
conversions I've seen aren't very good. But I've taken the
best and put them into one collection.
o Best of Scarecrow's 3-D Gallery 1.0 30 K
Some of the best 3-D pix posted.
My recommendations:
o If you are short on disk space, I would suggest you get the
FAQ and just those files containing the type of art you are
interested in.
o If you have a bit more disk space, you may want to get either
the FAQ or ASCII Art Resources, and the Best of the SAAAs.
o If you have some disk space to spare, you should get the ASCII
Art Resources file, and the 4 SAAAs. Over 1.5 megs art and
info. You'll be an ASCII art collector and expert, instantly.
Where do you get these files? You can get them by FTP,
and via email if you do not have FTP available.
Ah, but you have to read the ASCII ART FAQ or ASCII Art Resources
to find out where.
Tha ASCII ART FAQ is available from:
o News groups:
alt.ascii-art
alt.binaries.pictures.ascii
news.answers
alt.answers
o Finger by typing the following at a prompt on mony InterNet sites:
finger bob...@gagme.wwa.com | more (you can read it a page at a time)
OR
finger bob...@gagme.wwa.com > faq (saves it to a file called 'faq')
