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! mag...@leland.stanford.edu
