PETSCII Art
Many years ago, I ran across a large collection of "PETSCII" art on the QuantumLink online service. For those of you in alt.ascii-art, the Commodore 64 computer's standard character set included graphics symbols. PETSCII art was composed from these symbols as well as the multiple colors supported by the machine. Many BBSs had PETSCII splash screens. There was a lot of really good stuff out there. I also have vague memories of a program that was a combination editor and screen-based graphics viewer. Is there an archive of PETSCII art out there somewhere? Would anyone be interested in a Web gallery? Thanks in advance to the PETSCII artists out there, -Eric (Genuine email replies, replace e.d.s_2 with eds_2)
