I just haven't done >it. I'd like to offer another motive for doing it: limitations on some readers' newsreaders. My newsreader can't handle anything bigger than 1500 lines; chops the sucker off right there! So I can't get the whole ASCII Art FAQ as posted. What's even worse is that the part on how to *get* the FAQ is near the bottom of the file -- past the 1500 line mark -- so I never get to see that part and learn how else I can obtain the FAQ!! Get yer scissors out, Scarecrow! :) >>Any comments? > > Yeah, where the obascii art?
