crude dabbles of ansi->html :-
  http://www.shieldwolf.demon.co.uk/ascii/mosaic.htm

      /\
     (  )
      ||
     |  |
     |  |
     |  |
     |  | ____
     |  |/ /  )  
    _|__|_/__/
   (/cjr_\)

...that was what i was trying to refer to

i've noticed that Ns4/Ie4 don't follow the spec. for the html <pre> tag
 prop'ly...

Note that the SGML standard requires that the parser remove a newline
immediately following the start tag or immediately preceding the end
tag. 

 Ns4 and Ie4 do the opposite and add a newline at the </pre> tag :(

... it seems to look better using older table-compatible browsers
like Ns2,Ie3,Columbus2 that interpret the <pre> tag correctly


[][as an aside...] netscape killer :-

<!-- this one has 16 nested levels of tables ---->

  http://www.shieldwolf.demon.co.uk/ascii/htmlx.htm

<!-- Netscape is ok upto eight (8) levels of nested tables,   ----->
<!-- takes exponentially longer time for every extra level    ----->
<!-- and requires over 4Mb ram! (500Kb per level)             ----->
