A program could probably be made that would take any "background" text and apply a simple blocky design to it, as a mask. so: 1234 ### 123 3456 plus # # equals 3 6 5678 # # 5 8 7890 ### 789 to take a useless example. Then you take a screen-wide gradient like the one used above, apply a blocky font to it (which could be figlet) and tada! If I was going to write it (which I probably won't get around to) I'd use Perl, but I'm just a Perl junkie. Anyone with more time up for it? -- Denis/Tesser M Moskowitz Jen feroca malbona kuniklo; rigardu liajn den...@muddcs.cs.hmc.edu sovagxajn vangharojn, kaj liajn ungojn kaj This Is Realtime! -><- lian faldan voston. <a href="http://www.cs.hmc.edu/people/denis.html">My WWW page</a>
