 I'm sorry, but how old is your Jargon-File?!? Mine has alt.ascii.art
mentioned in it. This isn't really right either ;)  but it definitely
isn't rec.arts.ascii as you meant. Go and sit in the corner ;-P

 So I think we should write ESR nevertheless - for it's a.a-a and not
a.a.a ;)

 *hmmm* Strange, my installed jargon file is 4.0.0. Either it was
miscorrected in later versions or you have an even older version than
this? On the other hand, I just updated a week or two ago, so I don't
really know where the difference in the version-number comes from?

 Have fun!
obASCII:

       /\ 
     V/##\ V
     V####V
    /V###V#\
   <#V##V###>
    \V#V##mm m
     VV#i#m m m
     V\#i/m m m
       \/

 This should resemble the Vim[1] logo, but somehow it isn't that good
*scratches*  Maybe I should just try a bigger version, or take the
.xpm's *smirks*
