   If you are new to ASCII art, and would like to get into it quickly, I 
would say ...

   Get a copy of the ASCII Art Resources, and the Scarecrow's ASCII Art 
Archives.  Also don't miss Steve Sullivan's Small ASCII Pics series.  And 
there's also Jorn Barger's Asciitech file.

   All of these (and more) are mentioned in the ASCII ART FAQ, which is 
posted to 6 newsgroups every Monday, and is also available by fingering 
my account.

   Tha ASCII ART FAQ is available from:

   o  News groups:

      rec.arts.ascii

      alt.ascii-art

      alt.binaries.pictures.ascii

      news.answers

      alt.answers

      rec.answers

   o  Finger by typing the following at a prompt on mony Internet sites:

      finger bob...@gagme.wwa.com | more (you can read it a page at a time)
                                     OR
      finger bob...@gagme.wwa.com > faq (saves it to a file called 'faq')


   Hope this helps.
