Only thing is that this inserts a good bit of space between the lines, too. Like this: <BODY> <P> ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ George Wenzel <gwe...@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca> <P> `6_ 6 ) `-.

It really is pretty cool.) Now this doesn't line up right, unless the viewer sets his/her browser to use a non-proportional font, whis is usually NOT the default. And in HTML, I don't kow if you can set the font. You can set the font size, but not the font. In Internet Explorer 3.0B1, I can't even set the font, as far as I know. Just the font size and color. Someone did mention that they had an ascii art page out in California somewhere. I wonder how he did it? He mentioned that his site was being featured on some PBS special. If you could find that, maybe he could tell you how he did it. Rob
