Talk: ASCII stereograms

Talk: ASCII stereograms

I want to thank Ric Hotchkiss for posting that huge group of 
ASCII stereograms! They are terrific and amazing! I always like
wasting time looking at stereograms in bookstores, and these
ASCII ones are JUST AMAZING!

Especially the ones that are look like random uuencoded text.
Those are the best, 'cause the picture's a surprise. Ric, who
did the one that said "Stop wasting your time"; I'd like his/her
permission to use it in my .plan or something.

Anyways, is there some program out there that helps you do
these? From some of the stereogram, I understand that the
close the letters are repeated in sequence, the closer to 
you it appears (like the FAR/NEAR stereogram). But anyone care
to elucidate the theory of ASCII sterograms? How about
for the one that look like random text? How do you place them
so nicely that it forms an X-Windows "X"? Nice works!
