I tried to send email "movies" to this person who wanted them very badly, 
and the address I sent them to did not work.  If anyone knows this 
person, or if he/she sees this, please let me know what the address is 
supposed to be, and I will send it to him/her.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm wondering if there's a program out there to convert pics into 
ASCII picture format?  If so, please email me at:

lu...@ecf.utoronto.ca

Thanks in Advance.

Right Mr. Oogly Man, tell us more about your ANSi which you seemed to be
putting in all the post! Is someone from ANSi paying you or something?

Sure it will screw up a lot of people's systems, but it's good mostly OFF of the
internet!  Like on BBSes & stuff!  Anyway, I don't want to get into some big 
debate on this so I'll just zip +------- my lip!

The URL you are looking for, http://miso.wwa.com/~boba/ascii.html ,
isn't working anymore.  Bob Allison's (a.k.a. "Scarecrow") Had a "kid's
page" that has a note that says something like it was fun while it
lasted and all good things must come to an end.  So I've assumed (and I
may be wrong) that he's not maintaining his Web sites anymore.  Here are
a few other URLs of ASCII files.  I would also try a search engine like
yahoo.com and search on ascii art.  Try these: 


http://nunic.nu.edu/~dissel/asciiart.html
http://www.se.cuhk.edu.hk/~mcchau3/aaa.html

Does anyone know what has happened to Scarecrow?  Why did he take his
pages down?  I'd be interested if anyone had his e-mail address.

Thanx.

His Christmas pages are still up, though:

Scarecrow, aka Bob Allison, gave up as Moderator of rec.arts.ascii
in June 1996. Since then he has been reorganising his archives so
many of the old references to Bob Allison's ( Scarecrow ) material 
may no longer be valid or have ceased to exist.  

Unfortunate...but that's the way it is...nothing/nobody lasts for
ever on the Net...grab your goodies today...they may be gone 
tomorrow.

And above all...read "alt.ascii-art" every day or it might disappear 
too !  *8-)

Scarecrow, aka Bob Allison, gave up as Moderator of the newsgroup
"rec.arts.ascii" in June 1996. 

Since then he has been revising his personal archives and there is 
uncertainty about how many will remain, in what form and at what
location.

Bob Allison was also the maintainer of the " Ascii Art FAQ " and 
therefore the FAQ's future and accessibility is also uncertain...so 
hang on to any copies of the FAQ and other items you have already got.  

Everything on the Net is ephemeral...grab it today...it may be gone 
tomorrow and that applies to the webpages, ftpsites etc. where the
material is/was deposited.


Same applies to ASCII pictures...grab 'em now !  :-)

Bye,

Hiya all.  I've been reading AsciiArt on the MajorNet for a long time but
recently (2 days ago) got NMTP working and can finally post to Usenet!!!
I'm not much of an ascii artist, but I use lots of them on my BBS.  Yeah,
ya must think..Ewww..ASCII..why not use ANSI?  Cause Ascii is so much
easier to edit and change.  And my users love it.  Got a bulletin with all
the credits  (if any) that were part of the ascii.  

Well, since this is my first post, how about a Kangaroo? I've seen a few
but they looked like rats with thick tails.  

Thanks.
