HTML color codes would be fine, but the post is refering to the ESCAPE sequences and/or ANSI codes that are normally used to produce colors.

Dunno what your point is about posting HTML items. Do they actually contain any control codes or machine code ? Why do you think we have UUencode/UUdecode on the Net ? About 6 months ago we had a spate of readers in alt.ascii-art screaming for people to please turn the color off in their postings of ascii art. The color codes were creating mayhem and the same applies to Escape Codes used in ascii animations. Tell you what...I do not go to the trouble of regular postings of warning messages for enjoyment...they take time and are a tedious chore. Also...may I suggest you grab a copy of the Ascii Art FAQ and read it thoroughly...it will tell you about uuencode/decode and lots of other useful things. Bye,

HTML is Bog standard ascii ? Great...no problems. Sorry I have ignored HTML and all its wonders. One day I shall perhaps explore its joys and delights. :-) So...the moral of all this is stick to Bog Standard Ascii and we will have no screams on alt.ascii-art like: " Please turn off the colour (color) ! " and " Please uuencode ascii animations before posting. " Bye,

Isn't that a deficiency in the -receiving- ends software? I mean
really, if they can't handle plain old ansi codes, they're running a

No. What you have to remember is that there are hundreds of different types of computers hooked up to the Internet. Some are PCs (DOS, Windows, OS2), some Macintoshes, many many Unix boxes, VMS, VM/CMS, Honeywell, HP - any type of computer or operating system you can think of, there's probably somebody out there connected to it. Each operating system interprets the control codes a little differently. Just take the problems with French accents (the ISO standards, the DOS code pages, etc.) and the incompatibilities, and multiply that a thousandfold. Heck, the IBM mainframes use EBCDIC, not ASCII, so a conversion table is necessary to hook them up to everybody else. ASCII is the lowest common denominator that everybody understands. Once you get into the control codes, the possible interpretations multiply, creaitng a nightmare of (non-)standards. -- ##### |\^/| Colin R.

How so? Since only 7-bit ASCII is accepted in Internet mail and newsgroups, wouldn't posting 8-bit ASCII (binary, control codes) just be interpreted as gibberish? How could posting something on a newsgroup cause someone's system to crash? If making systems worldwide crash were just a matter of posting the right "codes" then I think it would be happening a lot more frequently. Are there any system administrators out there who could shed some light on this? <Mark Walters> --

The control codes are 0-31 and 127 so you don't need extended (8-bit)
ASCII to have them (i.e. extended ASCII adds the chars 128-255).

Duuno about systems crashing but my newsreader sometimes comes up
with a bright yellow screen which I *think* *might* be a result of
control codes confusing it.

Oh, I'm not a system administrator, maybe I shouldn't have replied!?!!?!?!.

A control code is more than just 8bit-ascii; it's a string of them making a sequence that is caught by some systems, hanging them up sometimes.

I post often using the acute accent mark (which is among the extended
character set) as my apostrophe/quote character (I use the grave accent,
which is under 127, for the other quote). Also, I've seen many people with
accented letters in their names post using the accents (Such as Mar�a).
I've also seen use of the bullet character �, and others.
I've never seen any problems caused by this, except sometimes the chars get
mistranslated, coming out as little boxes or other odd characters (I once
had all my acutes turn into Yen symbols).

I think I have seen HTML spams in "news.groups" and the messages look a real mess...irrespective of the spam content usually about hot sexy girls being available. This newsgroup is for pure ASCII and anything other than that requires UUencoding. There are two other ascii art newsgroups: alt.ascii-art.animation alt.binaries.pictures.ascii These two groups carry UUencoded material ( or should ). Of course this newagroup is free and unmoderated and users can post whatever they like...and take the consequences if other users do not like their postings ! Bye,

Well, it's not exactly short. But Veronica Karlsson has kindly put my animated tango dancers onto her webpage http://www.ludd.luth.se/users/vk/ The animation is at: http://jota.sm.luth.se:80/~e93-vkn/docs/anim/tango.html Please be advised that it can only be viewed if you have Netscape 3.0.

Post your bloddy control codes and color ANSI's as binaries to the alt..pictures.binaries.ascii group. <aaa> is not for posting control codes, mirc codes, colors, ansi etc. Stick to the proper groups. If you have an intelligent answer to this, then reply. If you are just gonna continue to ramble away, don't! Erik K. Veland Wicked ascii art <http://wigwam.askoyv.no/>

Binaries still have to be UUencoded before posting to the binary newsgroups such as alt.binaries.pictures.ascii or alt.binaries.misc. If you don't know why on all this...email your Systems Administrator at your access site and ask why, the folks here in alt.ascii-art are not here to educate rude or abusive newcomers to this newsgroup even if they possess the knowledge.

Well actually I didn't write any of the FAQs and, because it is an alt.* newsgroup I don't think it has a Charter. However, I did write the WARNING posting because about 2 or 3 years ago the newsgroup alt.ascii-art was full of screams from readers to " TURN OFF THE COLOUR ". I got tired of daily screams and decided to write and post the WARNING notice and I have posted it regularly ever since. >Your reply reeks >of ignorance of the problem that control codes can cause.

Back when alt.ascii-art was first created, there was a great wave of new animations being created and posted without being uuencoded. So many, in fact, that a.a-a.animation was created to reduce the burden. Somehow a report that control codes could be used by a malicious hacker to format people's hard drives got escalated into a mass shift to demanding uuencoded animations, which quickly killed the entire genre, because it required so much extra effort to view. But I searched far and wide at the time for anyone who'd actually been victimized by control codes, and the result I got was that it's never happened in modern times, because all reasonable software disabled those particular codes long ago. So I'd like to see this 'warning' retired, until someone comes up with proof that it's valid. j
Jorn Barger wrote: > So I'd like to see this 'warning' retired, until someone comes up > with proof that it's valid. Well, I think maybe it might need to be reworded, but I'm for continuing to post it. Firstly, because this is an ascii newsgroup and control codes don't belong here. Secondly, they are still a very large pain. I don't know about other systems, but my lowly little Unix box doesn't understand them and at best they get mangled into garbage and at worse (if I'm reading News through my primitive command line news viewer - which I sometimes do - or even "worst" if I'm not paying attention and mail one to myself to file) it can actually do funky things to the window (terminal emulator) that I am working in. It might not be anything unrecoverable - but it is a major annoyance. There really are those of us who are still using computers other than pcs and when you've been doing this as long as I have you tend to stick with the old tools that you are the most familiar with. And the old tools, still work the old way. (Gosh, I hope this makes sense. :^) Meanwhile, I for one, would really appreciate it if anytime someone posts non-ascii characters to the newsgroup they would please uuencode it first. (I know, another oldie but a goodie.) Just my thoughts. Sandy

PLEASE do *NOT* post Colour, Color, Control Codes, HTML or Animation
Codes to ASCII-ART newsgroups - or indeed ANY Internet newsgroup.
It can cause an awful lot of trouble on Net systems worldwide.
If you do wish to post Raw Code then UUENCODE it first !
Colour & Color Control Codes in subject titles and headers should be
avoided entirely.
Extended Character Set:
----------------------
The only Ascii characters which should be posted and used in Ascii
Art are:
Decimal characters 32 to 127.
The Extended Character Set of Decimal 128 to 255 made by using the
Alt key, and used for ANSI pictures, must be UUENCODED before
posting to the Net and should not be used in ASCII artwork pictures.
The Decimal Characters 0 to 32 are control codes and should not
be used in ASCII artwork.

*** HTML added and Ascii Art Ten Commandments ***
Control Codes:
-------------
PLEASE do *NOT* post Colour, Color, Control Codes, HTML or Animation
Codes to ASCII-ART newsgroups - or indeed ANY Internet newsgroup.
It can cause an awful lot of trouble on Net systems worldwide.
If you do wish to post Raw Code then UUENCODE it first !
Colour & Color Control Codes in subject titles and headers should be
avoided entirely.
Extended Character Set:
----------------------
The only Ascii characters which should be posted and used in Ascii
Art are:
Decimal characters 32 to 127.
The Extended Character Set of Decimal 128 to 255 made by using the
Alt key, and used for ANSI pictures, must be UUENCODED before
posting to the Net and should not be used in ASCII artwork pictures.
The Decimal Characters 0 to 31 are control codes and should not
be used in ASCII artwork.
Here is a chart of ascii characters:

Bye,
what? i dont get it. no, i had to change screennames, first, because i had such a nice name =( (XSkreemX) then, they billed us about 100 dollars for a communication charge, and then we had to cancel, so when i got it back, i couldnt get my old name back, so i had to add an extra E, then this person named Topk...threatened to report me for no reason, so I changed my sn to an extra x (a really strange name now, lol!) and as for the com.norn, that has to do with a junk block.....and the come.norn. has to do with the alt.games.creatures...lol! my favorite comp game in the world... ||~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|| Blue crayons taste the best. ||~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|| jEsSlCa...heh heh, my initials spell "jElp".
Veronica Karlsson wrote: > I have _no_ idea of what those look like on _your_ computer - which is > one of the reasons those are not recommended! The character is Alt-0149 in the Windows character set, which is mapped to U+2022 (BULLET) in Unicode. Usually used by browsers in <UL></UL> lists. Unfortunately, not ASCII, and especially bad because it doesn't carry across operating systems gracefully. :\ --Muke! -- Keep out of reach of children--they can hurt you.

From The Troll FAQ: ----------------------- 1. Hidden identities work well. As has been noted in the past, AOL gives 5 screen names. Now, those can be used to good advantage. The troller can appear to be 5 altogether different people as he/she/it carefully fans the flames. Seemingly endless off-topic threads that say nothing and go absolutely nowhere can be constructed in this fashion.

I should know - I've run a variety of BBS systems. On most modern free or cheap BBS softwares, a | symbol followed by 00-15 will produce colors. i.e. |04 would produce red. % is also used on many, as info codes - i.e. %UN on many systems will display the user's name.

Those comments were not aimed specially at you they were aimed at the ongoing negativity we have seen here for almost the whole of this year. Even you would have to admit that criticism is far easier that postitve input and you have been around alt.ascii-art and rec.arts.ascii off and on since their was creation so you are no way a clueless newbie with no knowledge of the history of the Ascii Art groups or how and why the FAQs and WARNING notices have been written and modified over time. I originally wrote this WARNING notice due to daily screams here of "TURN OFF THE COLOUR!" TURN OFF THE COLOUR! - IT'S CRASHING MY SYSTEM!" Nobody at that time did anything else but SCREAM!!! loudly!!!... So I wrote the WARNING Notice...it was not perfect...it has never been perfect... and with the clueless newcomers who come to this newsgroup...it never will be perfect. If you believe that you personally can write a perfect version of the WARNING Notice...then GO TO IT! I'll be more than happy...I'll be delighted for you to take the task over 'cos _I_ sure am sick of being asked to revise it. Why the blazes would I want to maintain and post this Notice for a pack of seeming ingrates? I assure you I am heartily sick of doing so! Wanna take over? Be my Welcome Guest...it does Sweet Fanny Adams for me! Toodle-oo,

Personally, I do like it, but I have neither the time nor inclination to take over a task another is rejecting. I've had my fill of thankless jobs. If you're sick of it, find some other rube to take over.

While I know it is a rare occurance but if one posts "rules" he has to also abide by them for other systems which do other things. Sure, there's not a lot of systems out there which do this color code system, or have it activated if they do but it does affect some of us. -S I live, therefore I die.

It would appear that the post was corrupted somewhere between your BBS's news server and your computer. Only the first part of /your/ message contains such characters (quoted above with the non-ASCII characters #ed out). Unfortunately, I have no doubt that you will soon read a message almost identical to this one, but slightly ruder in tone, from Colin himself. I suggest you grin and bear it, and do not reply.

Acceptable ASCII characters reduced to 32 to 126. Control Codes: ------------- PLEASE do *NOT* post Colour, Color, Control Codes, HTML or Animation Codes to ASCII-ART newsgroups - or indeed ANY Internet newsgroup. It can cause an awful lot of trouble on Net systems worldwide. If you do wish to post Raw Code then UUENCODE it first ! Colour & Color Control Codes in subject titles and headers should be avoided entirely. Extended Character Set: ---------------------- The only ASCII characters which should be posted and used in ASCII ART are: Decimal characters 32 to 126. The Extended Character Set of Decimal 127 to 255 made by using the Alt key, and used for ANSI pictures, must be UUENCODED before posting to the Net and should not be used in ASCII artwork pictures. The Decimal Characters 0 to 31 are control codes and should not be used in ASCII artwork.

I never said I did not like the rules which you posted. I think you completely misconstrued what I posted. Somewhere your warped little mind took what I said as some sort of offront to your sensibilities. I like the rules, which is why I posted to let you know that they contain codes which produce color on my system. +--------+ | | | | | | | | . | | ~ . | | . ~ | | __ | | |__| | |/ / |~~~~~~~/ / | / /| |___/_/__| /__________\ Here, take a hit, pass it on, relax.

Whatever, but this is NOT a BBS system, this is USENET. They're still non-ASCII characters, therefore, they're still not acceptable on this group.

So, if you're saying that if I was at a UNIX terminal you'd think the problem would be worth more merit? All who have slammed me, you're all a bunch of fucking moronic hypocrites, get a life.

| You do realize that you have just posted color codes yourself, in

| BBS systems which pull newsgroups many times use "pipe" color codes,

|it produces unpredictable results.

'-----------------------
I doubt that it will like my quotey bar then eh? Well the fact is that pipe
| characters are very often used in ascii art so if you can`t see them then
the ascii art is going to look pretty crap in this group anyway.

hmmm

Ahh well... If I understand correctly it only happens when the | is followed
by a number, which rarely occurs (it does sometimes though!)
