Hi, I just like to ask something about ASC Art. When I create a signature file using Pegasus Mail it looks ok, but when I mail it to someone all the characters move about. Does anyone know why? I would greatly appriciate if anyone can help! Latif

If the following two lines look the same length, you are using a fixed width font to view this... OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO llllllllllllllllllllll Try this same test in your mail program and your friend's mail program. If the lines are different lengths, change your font so they are the same and your ascii will be all right. )\ ( ) /( sS* s S __ _ )-(0^^0)-( S*S*sS*s "Reality is for those who /__) /_|(__/ ( / )/ \\// \( s*Ss*s*S can't face Science / ( ( | / |/|/ .
