Thanks..it does look more like a tree when thinner.  I used the "*...*"
because it made the pic. look draped with lights...then got lazy and
cross-eyed looking at it so stopped short of a "large tree"  :-).

A tree on the fly... :) (I did one some time ago as an ANSI for my BBS,
during the holidays... lets see if I can duplicate it - it was entire ASCII,
just color... But I don't have it anymore, unless it's hidden in a ZIP on my
old disks, half of which are probably corrupted...)

(this was about the time everybody was into the BBS game CLANS, which
includes some GREAT ascii-art... and was a helluva game - too bad it came
out a couple years too late - it woulda been ranked with LORD, Usurper,
Barren Realms Elite, and Falcons Eye... LORD and Usurper for great gameplay,
BRE/FE for challenge and inter-BBS capability...)

           *
          /o\
         /.::\
        /''  o\
       /o .....\
      /::::'''''\
     /  o     o  \
    /o......::::::\
   /:::''''''     o\
  /   o     o.......\
 /...::::::::''''''''\
'---o----+--o+------o-'
       ,-| . |-.
       ' '-'-' '

Not bad.. the 0's looked better in DOS though, with the dot in the middle :)
