Although I must say that you create some pretty amazing things yourself! Don't you have that special key on your computer that produces the ASCII pics?? I push mine and a new ASCII "pops" onto my screen! hehe <don't we all wish?> Honestly, I don't use a program-- I'm probably too computer-ignorant to even figure one out! I sit at the keyboard and type-- like most of us on this newsgroup. I often use figures or magazine/book pictures as models. And- I can only create a picture when I am in the mood. :) -joan -- ,,,((((((((( ,)))))))))))))))), ,((((((((((((((((/`/( ))))))))))`` _ \\\ ((((((((`` / /d /// joan stark )))))))))) | /(( <spu...@juno.com> ((((((((( .'| / ) ))))))))) ( \ ,/ (((((((( \ "` ASCII ART GALLERY: jgs``))))) \ http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/ (( | /

I think I've seen quite a few very impressive pictures here. But then again, your post contradicts itself in it's own way... So what is your point?
