Everybody was starting to do graphical demonstration programs. But there were already nice characters available to do stuff with. So we (our group - we called ourselfs Brand-X; after the skate-label) did a part that was called "Why Chars? (if one is enough)". It was somewhat a nice thing :) On the other hand, it wasn't really ASCII for we used all the different characters of the whole character set, and that were 254 printables (2 spaces)... But it was the start for my loving of ASCII-art. Just recently someone here had a copy of the "Deep Throat" historical hardcore-porn - in ASCII *smirks* I think it was a about 200 MB big textfile which was just listed and had this clear-screen-control-code after each page in it. It was truly amazing how much you can see. Was a great conversion ;-) > I have no idea who did it, put here is an ANSI-code stripped version, > if you want to view it traditionally, replace <h>'s with <esc>[H and > "type" it, altough it will propably run way too fast. Well, I think that depends on the terminal/OS/whatever you are using :) Great stuff, though! Have fun! -- Gerfried Fuchs <URL:mailto:alf...@innocent.com> <URL:http://alfie.ist.org/alfie/>
