Info: Attention Internet World readers

   The January 1995 Internet World named the ASCII ART FAQ as one of 6
"Most Fabulous FAQs".\

   I thank them for that.

   I imagine that it's possible that in the next couple of months these
groups could get blasted with questions about where the FAQ is.  Maybe
we'll get lucky and it won't happen, but it's better to be prepared.

   During the next couple of months I will post info about where the FAQ
can be obtained.  Maybe that will help.  Anyway, I haven't this info in a
whlie, so, here goes:


   Tha FAQ is available from news groups, FTP, Gopher, WWW, email, finger:
