P>I'd say go to Veronica Karlsson's ASCII page at

P>down at the moment.  When it does come back up, she has some good references
P>and links on it.  I've got some of the FAQ's cached, if you want me to zip
P>them up and email them to you.

P>To peruse other artists' work, go to www.google.com and search for "ascii
P>art", or go to the ascii art webrings at
P>http://r.webring.com/webring?ring=ascii&list or
P>http://artcode.org/ascii/list.php .

P>As for an editor, check out Markus Gebhart's www.jave.de for the -best-
P>ascii art tool around!  He also has references to Figlet fonts (at
P>http://ianchai.50megs.com/figlet.html ), which are used to automatically
P>transform typed letters to ascii art letters (useful for banners, lettering,
P>etc.).

P>Finally, when you find something that catches your fancy and ascii-fy it,
P>post it here for the rest of us to enjoy!  Good luck and have fun!

MJP>Oh, and when you post here, ignore the current flock of trolls, they think they are
quite original
MJP>and entertaining as most trolls do, being quite possessed with themselves. However
despite their
MJP>grotesque disfiguration and blatant vulgarisms they are no more that mites on a gnats
back, and have
MJP>no other power than what responses they get from others.
MJP>There are two tutorials by JRO on this page http://www.bluedwarf.net/ascii/index.html

LGB>Always consider the source an pay it little attention.

P.S. - Wouldn't it be a good thing to research your problem to see if you can solve it
yourself
before asking others to solve it for you?
