It may have made it to tty tape, but I think the first copy was an early attempt by some Canada college students (Toronto, I believe), to take a tv picture and digitize it. They had a Mona Lisa that was 2 pages wide (132 characters) and 6 pages high. There were about 8 images that made it to my college (on punch cards) via a friend of the developers. >I have a number of these 'original' pictures, that I post from time to time. >They're interesting in that they pre-date most computer generated pictures >by a lot of years :-). Another urban legand in the making. Glen
