This was just posted to this group :


"The only Ascii characters which should be posted and used in Ascii
Art are:  
               Decimal characters   32 to 127.

The Extended Character Set of Decimal 128 to 255 made by using the 
Alt key, and used for ANSI pictures, must be UUENCODED before 
posting to the Net and should not be used in ASCII artwork pictures.  

The Decimal Characters 0 to 31 are control codes and should not
be used in ASCII artwork."
