I have used gifscii and I also know that there is a mac version (somewhere.) Without international access (the uni server rules..) I can't get it unless someone mails it to me or informes of a name / place so I can search for it on a Australian mirror site! Thanks, Antony. --------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- | Antony Lord | The University of Western Australia | | mac...@tartarus.uwa.edu.au | | --------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
