Another way to say this is that a _compression program_ could compress an ascii drawing down a lot smaller than the same screen area full of words. Full-screen art usually has tons more whitespace, for example. So a 2k artwork might have only as much complexity as 0.5k of words. -- I EDIT THE NET: <URL:http://www.mcs.net/~jorn/html/weblogs/weblog.html> "Tell me, Eutrapelus, which is the weaker person: he that yields to another, or he that is yielded to?" --Erasmus
