Thought I'd make a pic for all you ASCII-ART webmasters out there that
you can use on your web page.  The pic is mine but use it and name it
your own if you want.  I don't care.  Call it a newbie gift to the more
experienced. :-)

I figured you use Notepad more than any program for the art.  Enjoy!
I'm still looking for those comments. . . :-)

I prefer Editpad (www.jgsoft.com), it has very useful
functions and it's the only text editor I need.
It is free (send the author a postcard).

well. . .I use Super NoteTab myself.  IT's really neat in the fact
that it has programable macros.  It comes with a few for HTML and
Smiley faces.  So really that pic I made was false. :-)  However if
you wish to use it, just change the "notepad" to whatever editor you
use.

Glad you enjoyed it! I hae a few more pics I'll post later.  Until
then, happy drawing. . .or shall I say typing?  :-)

I find overtype annoying.
I'd rather insert characters..
Notepad is good for me.. except
it doesn't hold much.

I tried Notepad++ and liked it. There are tons of text editors here:

(I also tried emacs and liked that even more!  ;)  )

The Semware Editor 1.0pre for DOS.. I do almost all my editing with
that.. (TSE's Q-edit's big brother, more features)

Wow, just checked, it's from 1993.. Wonder if there's a new version
out, maybe with LFN support?-)
