Nice work! > -joan Not so fast! I hate to stomp on the fun spirit of this thread, but it seems that a fundamental requirement of representational (vs. abstract) ascii art is that the represented image be recognizable by most folks under normal circumstances. To wit: Martin's entry is cute, but I think most folks would not be able to recognize it as a yinyang without the accompanying explanitory text. I'm pretty sure yours would be recognized by most folks who are acquainted with the symbol. I don't disparage Mr. Rundqvist's wish to entertain...just don't concede it's a better "take" on the smallest possible representation of a yinyang! Now if you can just get that classic yinyang reverse color thing to work... B^) -- Ron A. Zajac / NORTEL / 972-684-4887 esn444 / zaj...@Snortel.com These notions are mine, not NORTEL's! It is endlessly amazing that so many people that distrust the government trust it with capital punishment. -- Bruce Tennant
