Hey there.
I'm so glad i found this newsgroup. I just wanted to give a huge big up to all ascii artists everywhere. As a graffiti sprayer of old I appreciate the styles and mentality and imagination it takes to be able to draw in such a way. If theres anyone out there who has a good range of graf styles then I would very much appreciate some examples.

Well Marker you have been asked repeatedly to read the FAQ and turn off your
html.... not that I`m stressed.
It's just infuriating when people don`t take friendly advice.

Hey thanks! I`m making a small windows .exe that does all the hard work for
you. If it seems worthwhile when I`ve finished it I`ll put it on the web.

I`m very annoyed that you.... only kidding.
I`ve just got to say something... FreeServe's Outlook Express is a bit weird
and I can`t predict what my patch (posted by CJR) will do to it. (I`ve had a
bad experience with FreeServe's software and I spent two hours
de-FreeServing my Internet Exporer and Outlook Express mostly manually with
the Registry Editor.)
If it busts it up don`t come crying to me... phone up the quid a minute
support line and get a 'Haha you shouldn`t have run the patch' reply -
Remember what the start of the patch file says.
Just a friendly warning....
-Martin
