>Message-id: <199...@ng-cp1.aol.com> >os (old school ascii) is compiled of / \ _ | >ns ( new schoool ascii) is compiled uf letters or $ and use , : ' ` to smuth >the shit out I think you have it backwards... Some of the first (old) computer text images were first created on RTTY (radio teletype) which consisted ONLY of capital letters and very basic punctuation. Many of the old RTTY pictures are on the internet now. They are nearly all 'solid' style. The "newer" stuff is the outline style which consists of the backslash, pipe, and forward slash. Of course both styles are still created. The solid-style ASCII art and grey-scale images often use the $ character. (as does most software conversions). Please view my newly updated text art history page at: http://www.geocities.com/~spunk1111/history.htm You'll find more information along with plenty of links that substantiate what I'm talking about. -joan -- /| /\ // |/\'-'/ .::. /^Y^\::''. \_ /=| `' joan stark (jgs) /`_)=( \ spu...@juno.com \ /=/'-/ / |/ \ ASCII Art Gallery jgs __\ _ /__ http://www.ascii-art.com '----' '----'

please do your homework before you show your ignorance here. I was creating full character ascii art in the 70s many years before you were born Psycho2213 wrote: > os (old school ascii) is compiled of / \ _ | > ns ( new schoool ascii) is compiled uf letters or $ and use , : ' ` to smuth > the shit out
