Some little snippets from our FAQ list...

5.  How do I draw my own ASCII art?
-----------------------------------

    You don't need a special program to draw ASCII art with. It can be
    drawn using any text editor, such as SimpleText or BBEdit in MacOS,
    Notepad in Windows, nedit, vi, or pico in Unix, BEd or AZ in
    AmigaOS, edit in DOS, or any of the various Emacs editors. You can
    use a word processor to draw ASCII art, but remember: (1) use a
    fixed-width font [see Question 4]; and (2) using any special
    formatting (bold/italic/coloured etc) is a waste of time, as it
    will be lost when you post the picture.


2.  What isn't ASCII art?
-------------------------

    The following specialized artforms are not ASCII art and are not
    welcome in the ASCII art discussion groups.

    *   ANSI or `extended ASCII' art. Many computer systems have an
        extended character set of 256 or more characters, based on the
        ANSI or Unicode character sets and having the first 128
        characters identical to ASCII. These characters should not be
        used in ASCII art because many types of computer system do not
        support them, and even those that do may not display them in a
        standard way (for example, the Windows ANSI character set is
        different from the Mac ANSI character set).


Basically, please create your pictures using a fixed width (monospaced) font
(see http://voices.vossnet.co.uk/a/atkins/minifaq.htm for a list) and only
use characters from the ASCII set... that's these.....

  -----------------------------------------------------------------

Only use characters that you see in the 'Yes, yes...' section above.

That way we should all be able to see what you are trying to draw :o)


Hope this helps,
