Cat ASCII pics as SMS

Cat ASCII pics as SMS

alt.ascii-art · 3 messages · 10 May 2000 - 12 May 2000
Hi!
Didn't know there were so many ASCII admirers. Congratulations for the
fantastic Artists!
I am desperately looking for small cats or cat faces in ASCII that I can
send from a mobile phone short message - SMS (max. 160 chars.)
Anyone knows where to look for them ?

Please please reply to plu...@gmx.at
Danke
Peter

[-generic response follows-]

We at alt.ascii-art would be most happy to forful requests for most mobile
phone messages, but we first require some information...?

What size is the screen (how many letters wide? how many letters tall?)

Does it use a monospaced font?
  You can find out by typing this:
III III|
MMM MMM|
In a monospaced font, those lines will be the same length.
We can't do it if the target phone isn't in a monospaced font.

Is there anything special we can do?
Some requests have allowed simple animation where you scroll down the
message a page at a time to see the anim...

What characters can we use?
Some phones have more characters than others.

What characters can't we use?
Some of these phones don't seem to be able to manage some of the main
characters that ascii artists use a lot... \ | / > < . - '

Are there any special requirements?
eg Do you need some kind of space left for something?

If you could give us as many details as possible I'm sure people will be
happy to respond.

Kind Regards,
-Martin

     You mine-as-well ask if the person is a COMPLETE idiot as well, and not
just the random so-so variety. ;)
