Actually, I think this _does_ belong here. I've been to
Pete's site, and had a look at the TAP stuff, and it's 
still ascii in essence as far as I'm concerned. I know 
it's in gif format and some of the elements aren't ascii 
at all, but it's based on and inspired by ascii as far 
as I can tell - I doubt that Frogstein and Birdstein 
would be the same if they were drawn, hence they are 
still in ascii form.

I don't think Pete is claiming that this is strictly 
ascii, but *I* like what he's done, and I think 
announcing the TAP stuff is relevant to this group; 
without ascii, the TAP stuff wouldn't be there anyway! :)
