Obtaining FAQ (also first pics) [1/3]
alt.ascii-art
· 10 messages · 17 Jun 1998 - 24 Jun 1998
Okay. I'm new to the group, so I have some newbie questions.
[1] Where can I get a copy of the FAQ? I've followed URLS to some ftp
sites like rtfm.mit.edu, and the directory I get seems to be
empty...
[2] Does anybody have a nice picture of a dragon I could use for my
.sig?
Also, I recently made my first pictures (today and yesterday, in fact).
They are rather large, so they will be in a reply to this post.

~~ BLAKE HYDE ~~
This is my first "serious" attempt (that meaning w/shading and such)...
I don't think it's very good, so tips and such would be greatly
appreciated...

Thanks. :) I thought that the infinity sign was a bit skewed, but I guess it's just my imagination *peers at the pic*... > (I have to admit though that it's a little difficult to read the word > "infinity" but it _can_ be seen.) Tried it in 8s, Hs, %s, and :s, they were too strong for the graphic. -- Blake Hyde (ROT13: oul...@pbaarpgh.arg) -==(UDIC)==- Novan Dragon -------------- d+ e- N+ T--- Om-- U1347'!S'8!K u uC++ uF uG++ uLB+ uA nC+ nR nH- nP nI-- nPT nS+ nT wM wC+ wS- wI++ wN- o oA++ y a666 --------------
