Hi Blaze. 

I found these smileys on the web some time ago. I don't remember where. As you
can see, the file is in html format, and the person who made the file is called
Helwig, so this is to his credit, not mine.

 <a name=top
   >helwig's smiley dictionary</a>
</h1>
    on december 2, 1994 i found a smiley directory on the net.  i sat down
    and restructured it, sorted it and combined the multiple definitions.
    i converted the list to a html definition list and here it is...
<p>

    if you are searching for a specific smiley, you currently have to use 
    the inbuilt text search function of your www browser.  maybe i will 
    find some time in the near future to do some indexing, but i've a lot
    of other (better) things to do.
