Read the alt.ascii-art FAQ (at http://xrl.us/du9 , for example, which is a short link to Google Groups's version of news:hxS...@shieldwolf.demon.co.uk ); in particular, for this question, section 10 "Can I copy or post that ASCII picture for myself?". Briefly: you can often use the picture as long as you make no money off it and as long as you keep the author's initials, if any. But do read the full story in the FAQ. (See also the ASCII Art FAQ ten commandments.) > Is there anybody stupid enough to try to copyright ASCII art? It's not stupid. It *is* art, and it *does* take time and talent. It's worth being copyrighted. > And why does windows not show all the ASCII characters? Windows *does* show all ASCII characters. Maybe your opinion of what's an ASCII character is different from ours? See section 3 of the above-mentioned FAQ. Printable ASCII characters have codes from 32 to 126, inclusive (space to tilde). 0-31 and 127 are control characters and not printable; characters with codes above 127 are not ASCII. This includes characters such as � or ' -- they're not ASCII. Please read the FAQ! Cheers, Philip -- Philip Newton <nos...@gmx.li> That really is my address; no need to remove anything to reply. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
