Help me with my apple!

· 5 messages · 17 Jun 1997 - 2 Jul 1997
I requested a sig sized apple a while back but didn't find any that
were really what I wanted, so I tried making my own. I'm not an
experienced ascii-artist and I'd like an opinion or help with this
design. Suggestions for improvement are welcome!
Thanks,
Karen

I think that the person who accused the maker of that apple to use non-standard ascii meant that the picture contained characters in that range, which I claim that it doesn't. The range 128-255 has different definitions and interpretations on different computers (even in different programs in the same computer) and I have got the impression that they are considered unsuitable for ascii pictures. Your table would probably come up as ape shit on my screen, in any case not as what you intended, but please post it and I will show you a screen shot of what shows up when I try to watch it...
