Yes, that's a very original idea, Pete. And it's a good example too.

I've loaded your code in 3 different browsers of different generations (MSIE
4.0, NNgold 3.01, and winWeb 2.0 -- all under Windows95) and the code works in
all three!

But, like Ilmari said it's better to put the "center" tag outside the "pre" tag.
Just like this:

<HTML>
<BODY>

<CENTER><PRE>

Half Space Technique for html art

<TT>01   .oo   </TT>
<TT>02  (  -)  </TT>
<TT>03   " "   </TT>
<TT>04         </TT>
<TT>05    .oo   </TT>
<TT>06  (  -)  </TT>
<TT>07   " "   </TT>
<TT>08         </TT>
<TT>09   .oo    </TT>
<TT>10  (  -)  </TT>
<TT>11   " "   </TT>

</PRE></CENTER>

</BODY>
</HTML>

To my knowledge this sample is valid HTML 3.2 code, but Ilmari seems to disagree
:)
