Request: Dragons....

I am looking for some pictures of some wicked dragons or other fantasy
creatures. Thanx!

The following is an answer I gave to someone else on this general 
subject on 9/9/96:

About 200KB of dragons were posted to <rec.arts.ascii> within the past 
two weeks; if your ISP no longer has it, you can probably retrieve it 
with the information below.  I got this off the net, but the poster 
didn't remember where he got the information.

 "You can go into   http://www.dejanews.com/

  It archives most all newsgroups for at least several
  months. Anything you miss on the newsgroups can usually
  be picked up there, often more conveniently since you
  can search both the headings and the text."

You can also get the dragons off the web site; however, I have been 
told there is a lot of line noise to that site.  The site is:

http://icecube.acf-lab.alaska.edu/~fxdlk/

I will be posting collections of devils, demons, swords, etc. to 
<rec.arts.ascii> sometime this month or next.  

Diane

This is a great newsgroup article search engine. They are still in the
process of entering posts from the past, and the posts are permanently
archived, not just for several months.  I don't know how far back they
will go to enter articles. It's free now, but there could be a charge in
the future. 

Anyway, ..... the problem with the ascii art posts, is that if the
poster DID NOT mention his art subject, such as DRAGON, you won't be
able to find it with a subject search. You'll just have to look through
all the articles, or perhaps all the articles within a set of dates. 

For ease of those who wish to research & retrieve posted ascii art, it
would be thoughtful to type out a brief description within the body, or
break it up and put the description in the title.
