Rounded shapes are difficult to make in ascii. The best thing is often
to make them up out of short pieces of lines... There have been
discussions about circles in this group before. Try searching:

http://www.deja.com/=dnc/home_ps.shtml

for some of those (there were some collections and some good examples).

     Also, if you want to see a program that draws ASCII circles, try looking
