                     Pointer to the ASCII Art  FAQ        Sep 1996

========================================================================


  There is always a continuous stream of newcomers to alt.ascii-art 
  and the other ascii art groups.  


***  The "Ascii Art FAQ" was maintained by Bob Allison ( Scarecrow ) 
     until he gave up as the Moderator of the "rec.arts.ascii" 
     newsgroup in June 1996.  

***  The following extract from the FAQ shows some locations for the 
     last issue of the FAQ but there is no guarantee these locations 
     remain valid.
