It's like ansi!
Hehe, using html is much easier than to create it using mud codes, then
captureiing the picture while in the mud (i've been too lazy to find out
how to make the color codes manually =^)
Although easier, html also requires using a browser =^(.
Question: will an ascii with escape codes show up properly on netscape?
dat's it!

He (Frank Boyland) didn't post the URL, he posted the whole
html source. I put it up in my black hole of web archive at:
http://www.mathlab.sunysb.edu/~elijah/grx/fer.html
I sent him email about this, but got no response. I wonder
if all those '>'s he put into the picture are supposed to
show? (They don't for me: < is the proper code for a
greater than; I wish lynx would support this for ALT text.)

I tried it on Netscape on a PC and it works fine - great mood setting, reminded me of those Love Boat deck scenes. Keep it up.

I tried it too and it works fine... Av --
Well, I wonder if there are any people out there still using Lynx or if everybody just uses Netscape. Anyway, I don't have Netscape allthough I could use it from time to time. Now my question is this did you ever see a web page that had some ASCII or ANSI drawings for Lynx users? I'd like to set mine so that Lynx users may have some artistic fun too! And then, this html-ferry... does it work with Lynx? I haven't tried yet but I kinda doubt it. serge _______________________________________________________________________ | Carpe Diem...
