On Sunday April 12 1998 at 23:56, Donovan <bak...@gwtc.net> for some reason, known only to himself, got the urge to write something about "Re: Newbie ASCII-art": >> .888. .888. >> 88888.88888 >> 88888888888 >> `888888888' >> `8888888' >> `88888' >> `888' >> `8' >> >> Not much, I know, but trying to boost my self esteem I posted it >> anyway... ;-) > It was a good start except you can't youse the ascii ALT-0180 character.

Where did he do that? I can't see it anywhere... It's the apostrophes on the right side. In a size 9 Courier New (I think..) they look exactly like the backpostrophes on the left, but in the other direction, but in size 10 (which I'm writing this in) they are straight down lines... -- Hilton Janfield v a l d u s @ b c g r o u p . n e t darkfire productions ICQ UIN: 7107014 ICQ Nick: Valdus
