I have a little trick for making some types of ASCII chars that are made from
one solid character such as an asterisk (*).  What ya do is put a backslash
behind the last character on every line.  Here's an example, with the letter I:

                        ***************\
                        ***************\
                        \\\\*******\\\\\
                            *******\
                            *******\
                            *******\
                        ***************\
                        ***************\
                        \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Plus, I also forgot to mention that it goes underneath overhanging parts of a
letter.  This makes a shadowing effect, and if you want to look at it another
way, it makes the letter thicker.

Susie, If you are out there, would love to hear from you.  This is one of
many of Susie Oviatt's works of art I have collected back when I was a
member of GEnie Services:
