Another faq perhaps? ...

Is there any art using the full complement of IBM 8-bit characters?
(Or does this specifically make this "non-ascii" art?)

Cheers
Tony

Having the damnedest time getting Gifscii to work.  89a is the problem.

Please, please, which programs?  I'm on a Mac Quadra 800, and have access
to Turbogopher, Adobe Photoshop, Omnipage Pro, and others.  Can someone
please give me simple, childlike instructions?  

Many thanks,
Phoenix.

I've seen a lot of it, (also using ANSI cursor-motion and
color-changing sequences to provide full-color animation).  It's bad
practice to post these to UseNet, though, since many people will be
viewing the messages on terminals that won't be able to view them
properly.  (Unix xterms, for instance)
