On Thu, 5 Feb 1998 Jacquie (HAP...@prodigy.net) uttered forth the following: : Has anybody seen any ASCII Valentine cards out there? Someone did some real : nice Christmas cards, I think it was Joan. I wrote a DOS program a while back that lets you make simple custom ASCII Valentine cards by just answering a few questions. One of these days maybe I'll have time to finish adding all the bells and whistles I have in mind. :) Anyway, it's called Cuddle Coupons, and you can download it through my ASCII art page (see my .sig for the URL). Just go to the software section at the bottom of the page and click on the link. Note that when you unzip it, use the -d parameter since Figlet is stored in a subdirectory.

That could be it, as it seems to be okay now. I just tried cutting and pasting the URL from my .sig into Lynx (to make sure I didn't type it wrong) and the page was there. It wouldn't be the first time I've had a page temporarily "disappear" and then reappear without problem. With a little luck I'll be doing another small update to a few of the ASCII collections today. Almost all of them have had updates in the last week or two; thanks to all the artists who keep turning out great new stuff!

- Does anyone know of any non-romantic asciis for Valentines? I tried to create a small heart, based on something I saw in a magazine, but it came out like this: _ _ / \/ \ < > \ / \/ But somehow that didn't look entirely right to me.Although it doesn't look so bad with black on white as it does in white on black.

Ok, I will try. But most of my ascii art lately has been two line fishes.

There is a heart with some geometric things. Geometric things always look
cool and take away from the love part of it.
