Only! Of the remaining characters, I can tell you that I don't use the $ or ?-- to me it is too distracting.... also too typical of GIFSCII pics...but there are some on the list that I do use:1 bd p m n uUH l m vy 7 A P-- not all the time-- you must've just missed them... I have yet to find uses for some of the others.... Zz 2 3 4 (besides a nose for a cat) 5 B E fF Gh J Kk M N Q R S T W-- >And a lot of discriminated characters here. Hear them crying? boo hoo-- sometimes I just feel that too many "real" letters take away from the look of an ASCII pic-- again, I'm not a big fan of GIFSCII-- I don't want my pics to look anything like them. Again- neat study-- I found it very interesting.. thank you! -joan -- .-. {\('v')/} (\_/) ____________________`( )'_____ ( =(^Y^)= (_ pun...@juno.com ^^" "^^ ____\_(m___m)_________)tark, joan ASCII art: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/
