It's best to keep your lines shorter than 72 (then it is not so likely to be wrapped even after being quoted).

I already said that I got the basic Idea from that very spiffy figlet program, I did however retype the whole thing to add a few specifications within the letters, the reason it took me so long is that I kept running into complications along the way. As for the extra lines, I did not put them there. By accident I wrote the thing in a variable width font, making the lines too long so it wrapped the ends, causing the "<>" from the right side join the left, causing spaces in between. the basic Idea of the picture was to look like this: -_-_-_-_-_- <> <> <> Geech <> <> <> <>=*=*=*=*=<> You get the picture? Thanx, for at least trying to comment on my drawing, even if it was rather rude. Shimrod wrote: > Steven F.
