Krogg is having major newsfeed problems (or at least he was all last
week) so it's good that you are posting the FAQ, Colin.

As to Mepha's original post *and* reply to Veronica, and good old Pete's
stupid award appearing for that reply, it seems that

(Sarah, don't be led astray by those rogues. This is an ASCII-art group.
There are lots of _other_ places that one can go to display non-standard
characters. It looks like tw.bbs.literal.asciiart may welcome discussion
of any kind of keyboard art.)

I'm not very good visualizing the solid-style
text pictures--  is it a wizard of some sort?
Perhaps my system misinterpreted some of the
non-ASCII characters.  That's the problem with
posting the alt-characters on USENET and in email --

Was this hand-made or conversion program?
If hand, you may want to use another character
instead of the "$" -- many readers pick it up as
spam and dump your post into the trash before
anyone gets to see it.

BTW, your foul-mouthed reply to Veronica was truly
uncalled for.  I've been with this newsgroup since
1995- VK has been a long-time contributor-- she
knows what she is doing.  Perhaps she was crass
in her response to you-- but keep in mind that we
see posts like yours ...so... often.  This is an ASCII 
art newsgroup (hence the name, alt.ascii-art)- we
expect posts to be in ASCII -- not some variant text code. 
There are other NGs for that.    We also expect that
newcomers to the NG will follow proper net-etiquette
and read the group's FAQ.  I know, presumptuous on
our part.

no extended ascii characters please...

Nice pic tho, I`m about to bung it into ASC2PIC to see how it looks in there
although the extended characters probably won`t match...

Have Fun....

'-----------------

Won`t do Veronica much good... that`s a DOS program and she`s using Un*x...
which is also why your pics looked screwy... they were intended for Windows.

As for your bad attitude.... extended characters are NOT ascii characters, and
neither are any ansi codes, or any other OS-specific shit.

I like TheDraw and AcidDraw... but they are ANSI editors, not ASCII editors...
and alt.ascii-art is not the place for bare ANSI... I like your pictures, but
they can screw up peoples newsreaders... so be a nice person and attach them in
some encoded form and mention that they are ansi... theres a nice angry
person... now calm down and post some more of your lovely pics....

For the benefit of Veronica and anyone else using something other than Windoze
or MicroShite DOS... I think I tracked down most of the extended characters so
give you a fair idea of what the pic looks like... I don`t know if I got the
right replacements (probably not) but frankly I don`t give a shit... this guy
has a serious attitude problem.

I have a challenge for all you artists out there. 

Could someone draw/find me a Sleeping Monkey?

The more life like the better.  And on the cute side would be a plus.

Also if it could be relatively small...

Thanks

Martin, you missed a few. (Now I hope I didn't miss any.) I changed all
the $ into S as well. I've looked at this in Courier size 3, 4 and 5 and
can't tell at all what it's supposed to be; I feel sure it's supposed to
_be_ something aside from a quite interesting design. It's even more
tantalizing with white text on a black background.

Just like there's no reason for you to come into a new newsgroup without
first reading the FAQ for that group.

> and another thing... I dont like your old school bullshit ascii,

If you had read the FAQ you would have realised that that "old school
bullshit ascii" is what we do here - and everything else is concidered
off-topic spam. If you want to show other kinds of text art, please find
some other forum for that because this newsgroup is not what you are
looking for.

So? At least the frogs are on-topic for this group and the "Veronica"
bit is _readable_ (which is more than I can say for your stuff).

If you're so old and experienced, how come you don't know about the
basic netuquette of reading FAQs before posting? (I hope you realise
that by this statement of yours you lose any claim of newbie stupidity
so you can't really say "I didn't know...").

And I'm sure you had lots of fun there. Please, also realise that this
is not one of those groups and that "ansi" is a swear word here.

The FAQ was made after a lot of discussion in this group and represents
what the majority of the people here think is the correct way to do
things.

Now we get to the part about "what is an artist?". IMHO being an artist
isn't just about getting the lines right, it is also about making things
that work. If you make a painting and after 50 years all the blue has
faded away, can you really call yourself a good artist? A good artist
would have known that that particular pigment would not last in the sun
and would have chosen to use a different pigment. If you want to "push
the envelope" and do new things you should first make sure you have
thorough understanding about what happens "under the surface" and what
the consequences are of doing something. If you just want to make
pictures, you only need to learn the rules that others have spent time
and effort to figure out about how to do things so that they work.

No, that's quite right, I didn't make the text saying "Veronica", Figlet
did. However, I would have been proud to have made the Figlet font
"small" (I think that's the one I used) since it is one of the clearest
and best ascii fonts.

My computer says "'.exe?' What is that? Something you eat?" (hint: not
everybody is a Micro$oft victim).

96? Lest see... that's [*counting*] three years after I graduated from
my first Computer Science university education...

Sarah knows that, she just posted her own examples of newsgroups.

The issue is that aaa like any other newsgroup will follow the general trends.
It is a lot better to think of posting ascii pics within the context of the
general trends rather than trying to escape into some or any kind of isolationism.

I pointed out means and ways for doing that, and that is (one of) the reasons
for the lively entertainment that we enjoy about as often as nudes are clothed

Hmmm... much of that stuff looked like *garbage* on my screen...  :(

Maybe you should do some reading. I can recommend the ascii art FAQ:

http://studserv.stud.uni-hannover.de/~freise/ascii/faq.html

And then maybe you'd better do some test posts - but do them to a
newsgroup called alt.test (i.e. *not* to alt.ascii-art).

And then, when you've got a grip on things, come back with a revised
version (the parts that weren't distorted looked very interesting and
I'd definitely like to see the complete, undistorted version...).  :)

  ok ver0nica.. for one,... there's no reason to be a bitch to me, and
another thing... I dont like your old school bullshit ascii, with your
little frogs and your generic as hell ver0nica, that I could have drawn
with my eyes closed, you prolly know nothing of the ansi scene on Efnet or
what used to be.. were we were all in these little groups and we released
packets of ansi and ascii, and just because you have this little fucking
faq of ascii rules, it doesn't mean I have to abide by them, and if you
don't like what you see then skip over it...... its people like you that
hold artists back, with your rules, when you put rules on something like
ascii you hold back peoples imaginations because there scared to use a
character thats not on the keyboard.. so next time you have something to
say, how bout just shutting the fuck up and draw... cause if you did make
that veronica, you need practice.. and I mean alot....   but.. do do this,
take these files... adraw120.zip, unzip it into a dir, and then run
aciddraw.exe and load up these 3 .ans, .asc files I am sending with it.. I
drew this shit in 1996 when you were still learning to type....

But containing non-Ascii characters!

Mepha has apparently not read the Ascii Art FAQ either, or perhaps 
he just chooses to ignore it...as his response to Veronica Karlsson 
would suggest.  :-( 

As Krog seems to be absent from the newsgroup right now I am posting 
the Ascii Art FAQ in a separate posting to alt.ascii-art.

Give it a rest Pete.

Mehta posted a load of non-Ascii characters and then pretended he
didn't give a damn and was unnecessarily offensive.

If you can applaud that then your Birdstein awards are worth diddly!

Nothing to stop people posting ANSI etc. if it is uuencoded. Post it
raw and some people here will flame the posters.

If you like flamewars better put on your asbestos underwear:

No she didn't...she posted some cryptic descriptions of some groups
she had seen and failed to give the newsgroup names!

Closing your eyes to reality? Her examples were just the last ones, there were
other examples mentioned here on aaa by other people in the past, including msn.

No fit, I just gave you a standard "RTFF" reply. Your post contained
"non-standard" characters and you also seemed to have some line wrap
problems. The first of those two problems could be read about in the
FAQ, the second should be taken care of in alt.test. 

Those were technical problems. If I said anything about your style it
was that I would love to see your pictures - *after* you have solved
your technical problems.

"wizard"? There was a wizard in there somewhere??? :D:D:D:D:D  (and no,
I couldn't read it, and apparently I was not the only one who had
trouble on that point. llizard, for example, thought it said "dusu")

I was not "messing your picture up", I was "diddling" (which is another
thing that we do here in alt.ascii-art).  :)

VK never claimed it as her own-- that would be"stealing" -- we know it's
yours-- 
  Sheesh,  people were just trying to be 
helpful and  repost the pic in an**ASCII** format.

>and I dont care if you didn't see it, its not my fault your blind, 

VK couldn't read it...  llizard couldn't read it...
and to be honest, until you said what it wrote,
I couldn't read it either.  What does that say
about your "crap"?  (your word, not mine!)
All of us are blind??

  ok people, I can't believe one post has caused such a stir, first of all, I will
explain, I post my first weee little msg on the neat little newsgroup and ver0nica
takes aim at my style..
I just posted what everything said and looked like and I she had a fit, or
something so I retaliated, no more cursing for me, and if you don't like me, then
trash my msg's before reading them, caio.. =).. and I will draw something legible
next time..

toodles


and to whoever emailed me and asked, yes I Drew all of that crap by hand..

     If she had stolen it, she would have put her own initals on it and taken
yours off of it. If people "diddle" your pictures, they usually aren't being
malicious.
     You have to understand that some newsreaders simply cannot view extended
ASCII characters. Some readers crash, freeze, strip the characters out (messing
up the picture) or don't display the message at all. One of the goals of this
group is to present ASCII artwork to as many people as possible, so that's why
placing a bunch of extended characters on the screen just won't do, and a lot
of people won't see it.

The FAQ says not to take someone else's artwork and claim it as your own.
Since your work was not stolen and claimed by someone else, I'd say the rule
was quite well followed.  In fact, Unless I am wrong, someone (Veronica?)
quoted the original work first and followed it with her interpretation (her
"diddle"'ing of your work).

Thankyou for the complimenting my FAQ by calling it the `stupid goddamn
FAQ', Sir/Madam Mepha. It appears that you may have missed the following
parts.

1.  `The following specialized artforms are not ASCII art in the `pure'
    sense, and are not welcome in the ASCII art discussion groups.

    *   ANSI, `extended ASCII', or `high ASCII' art. Many computer
        systems have an extended character set of 256 or more
        characters, based on the ANSI or Unicode character sets and
        having the first 128 characters identical to ASCII. These
        characters should not be used in ASCII art because many types
        of computer system do not support them, and even those that do
        may not display them in a standard way (for example, the
        Windows ANSI character set is different from the Macintosh ANSI
        character set).
    *   ...'

2.  `It doesn't matter if your ASCII art isn't particularly good; we'd
    like to see it anyway. We won't be rude about it (although you'd
    better tell us what it is, or we might ask :-), but if it shows
    potential, you may find that other people will `re-diddle' it --
    change a few characters, make it a bit better, and re-post it.'

> if your a comp science major, go get a job for accolade and stop
> drawing ascii.. thank you and goodbye

Erhm, Veronica's not the only comp science major around here ... not
that that's relevant, of course. And if you're not going to follow basic
Usenet etiquette (ie posting in ASCII, not ANSI), then it's entirely to
be expected that your messages will not be shown correctly by some
programs.

Please try to be more polite in future.

I think Mepha was asking about 'who else' on
this NG is a computer science professional.
You mentioned VK--  I know that there are
others.  I am not-  I'm "technically challenged";
however I do hold a Master of Science degree  in
Exercise Physiology/Education.

Propagation of a.b.p.ascii is very poor. a.a-a.animation is a bit
better and can accept binaries because of uuencoded animations using
the ansi escape codes.

More and more ISPs are dropping the alt.binaries.* newsgroups
with huge naughty picture files and pirated software overloading
and choking their newsfeed systems.


However, the GIF of Mepha's wizard is no better than the other
renditions...the colours are absolutely horrid and make the pic even
more indistinct.

Conversion to a black and white GIF-type pic using Martin Atkins'
proggie, asc2gif.exe, is not much better viewing either.

And why all this fuss over a li'l ol' piccy of the type seen in
abundance on Bulletin Boards where people like posting Wizards,
Dragons, Demons and Doom piccys usually in ANSI or ANSI/ASCII
mixtures using all the available characters?

Those themes are popular on BBSs because most BBS sysops will not
allow Nudes and Naughty Picture postings and will warn users who
attempt to post them on their BBS.

BBS Sysops usually privately own their BBSs and have total control
on what gets posted and who posts it. There is no comparison with
Usenet newsgroups, even moderates ones. BBS sysops can and do censor
postings on the basis of content.

Unlike you, VK, I don`t have direct access top my website and it is a great

My ISP doesn`t carry alt.binaries.pictures.ascii (or rather, it carries it but
won`t let me read or post to it) so that is yet again not an option.

Hell it wasn`t exactly a large file... I decreased it to 16colours cos it was a
dos screen anyway, made it GIF87a and everything, cos I wanted the file as small
as possible... and you can now see what you would have seen had you been able to
load Mepha`s file into your FreeBSD machine (That is what you`ve got, isn`t it?)

Now that interests me.

How are you able to control what type of GIF file you make? 

The GIF2ASC convertors will only convert GIF87a files and refuse to
handle GIF89a files.

Is there a convertor utility that converts 87a to 89a and vice 
versa?

Amazing...you got the number of lines exactly right for it to work
with PageUp/PageDown in my wordprocessor. Usually I have to add or
remove blank lines to get the correct registration from screen to
screen.

Paint Shop Pro gives my the option in the save as box.

Not being familiar with the GIF89a format, this is purely a guess, but if you
took a GIF89a with no animation or transparency and changed the header to
GIF87a, would it become a GIF87a? Hrmmmm.....

A few of my programs load GIF87a files, but I`ve not had the need for AnimGIFs
or transparency so far, so I don`t know how to handle those.
