Re: Ascii art program



Hi,

In article <1SGj1.138$943...@NewsRead.Toronto.iSTAR.net>,

   The hand made is the hand made. It always will be best.
Computer aided art probably never (i hope) will be brilliant, 
but always (i hope) will be at least average. Here are some
examples, i generate using aaview. All graphics are created
without the default (ansi) dim (half bright) and bold (double 
bright) fonts to be compatible with ascii-art definition.


The original authors of aalib (core engine) are:
  Jan Hubicka (hub...@paru.cas.cz)
  Thomas A. K. Kjaer (tak...@daimi.aau.dk)
  Tim Newsome (nui...@cmu.edu)
  Kamil Toman (tom...@horac.ta.jcu.cz)  
The aaview is written by Jan Hubicka.
