What's the diff? *ASCII* art contains _only_ printable characters, and so can: (1) be posted to newsgroups directly without special encoding; and (2) be vieweb on your newsreader directly, without saving and feeding into a viewer program for extended character sets. The other stuff with control codes for colour etc is *ANSI*. -- Regards, Woof Woof, Glug Glug-- X E M U * Who Drowned theJUDGe's Dog ? s p 4 \ |\ answers on ( alt.religion.scientology /~~~~~~~ @----, and on page (/x/clam/faq/woofglug.html -;'^';,_,-;^; : : :http://www.demon.co.uk/castle/x/clam/index.html _____________________________________*****_<--server has changed___ OT8 Cognition:"Source is the 8th Dynamic"[LRon Hubbard is God]BWAAH! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
