I will admit that I didn't understand your intial comments--
I believed that you were announcing that you had a program
that would MAKE the ASCII art for people... I must've missed
the part about this being an editor program for people to use
when they create their ASCII (and non-ASCII) pictures.
Please forgive me...  there is a place for such a thing.
Personally I just use a text editor, but others do use editors.

I don't think it is a cynical non-welcome group.  It is sometimes
difficult to express ideas and feeling through the written word.
People rely a lot on body expression- well, we can't do that
here.  So there are misunderstandings.

You didn't read the FAQ?  Perhaps that's why you did
get responses as you did regarding ASCII and non-ASCII
characters..  I'm one of those who assumed that you had
read the FAQ and decided to post anyways.

Well, I was the laughing one...  forgive me, I misunderstood
what you were saying... and as for the ASCII/non-ASCII
thing- they have their places -- non-ASCII should not be
posted on the net.  And since you seem to know this and will
be adding this info to your program, I don't see a conflict.
Don't go away!
