Yes...that's the one. =================================================================== WARNING Revised 18 Jul 98 ==================================================================== *** HTML warning added and the 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.

: Yes, that is indeed the one that is non-standard. Its character number
: is #145 and is the reverse of ` . Some computers will not show it to be
: the same character.
I thougt #145 was allowed as ` was too.
Too bad it isn`t, I have been using it in many of my pictures.
I have a very old keyboard and the two characters are conveniently
under the same button.
Which number does the last character on the next line have?
SP ! " # $ % & '
It looks on my screen near enough to the one I`ve been using.
: and then to qualify for the six line challenge, it could look like this.

Thanks, it looks better than cutting the top off.

Note: the message below contains Non-ASCII characters. > \/� *7* > \/� 6 > _/� 5 > (,;) 4 > (,.) 3 > (,/ 2 > |/ 1 I think llizard's got it right, but just for the purpose of showing it: The grave accent " ` " (character #96) is allowed, as is the normal apostrophe " ' " (character #39). Sometimes the grave accent is called a "back-tick" or "back-apostrophe" or something similar. The character you're using " � " (character #145) is one I've seen in some IRC conversations as well, in places where an apostrophe " ' " goes. Never understood why though. On my screen, " � " and " ' " are distinctly different characters (I'm using a standard VT-100 font on a Commodore soft-80 display). My guess is " � " is the character intended to be used to show the stressed syllables in words in a dictionary definition, as in: ac-cent /ak� sent/ n. 1. To highlight or stress a character or syllable, as in this definition. 2. To change the pronunciation of one or more characters, words, or phrases, as used in foreign texts. ___________________________________________________________________ | . . | * http://www2.southwind.net/~natedac/ * | | _ _ _|_ _ _| _ _ |-----------------------------------------| | |/ \`_| | /_)/ |`_|/ ` | GCS d- s++:++ a-- C++ UB>++ P+ L>++ !E | | | |(_| \_ \_ \_|(_|\__ | W++ N++ K- w--- M- V?
