The easiest definition I've ever heard is that Ascii art is art made by using only the printable characters that you can type in with your keyboard. IE, all the letters, numbers, and symbols like !%(\|~ etc. Anything that you have to hold down the alt key for is not kosher for ascii art. There's a more specific definition, but that's a pretty good working one. >I'm looking for good ASCII-Arts to show them on my homepage, if anyone of >you believes that his pix are good, please send them as a .txt file to me. Sorry, while I love ascii art, I'm a terrible ascii artist. --Wesley The only stupid question is the unasked question. And that's a good thing, because I hate stupid questions!
