It turns out like shit but it usually resembles what you drew. -- ,y$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$""""""$$$$$$$$$$$y, * nd...@ix.netcom.com * $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ - $$P"` ,g `$P"` ,g $ d$b $$ W.

: you usually use ASCII paint. it is a program.
I would use TheDraw or AcidDraw. I used to draw ansi and ascii and these
programs worked hella rad. :+

And some times gif2asc. Basicly any normal text editor will do. But some people use ascii paint programs. I just dont waste my hard drive with them slightly harder with just a edit but it is more fun. pcdolding -- _____ _____ / \ / \ | () () | pdo...@metz.une.edu.au | () () | \ ^ / ___ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ \ ^ / ||||| | |__| \_/ | | | \_/ ||||| ||||| |___ | \ | |___ |___| _/ \_ |||||
