Yahoo Chat and ascii pics

Howdy all!
I'm in yahoo chat quite a bit and have seen some pics people use there
that are ascii conversions. I think I've figured out how to space them
to use up to about six lines. Does anyone have any art thats 6 lines or
less that I may try in the chat room? Also does anyone else know
anything about useing ascii pics in the chat rooms. I imagine yahoo chat
may be specific to itself. Most settings in the chat room is java
enabled if that makes a difference. Thanks for your help!! I wish I
could draw but you all are great and I love the pics!!   *<:-)~

Thanks for the response! I haven't been in the yahoo clubs yet. I have
figured out about getting up to six lines of height for a pic in the
chat rooms. In yahoo its just a matter of spacing until it shifts to the
next line. I use a color code for white to space until it shifts down a
line then use another color to show the pic. Basically white is
invisible on the chat screen so the only thing that shows is the
picture. I need some good pics though that are 6 lines or less to try
there. I was hoping to find some small ascii pics here. I have found
some but if anyone has a few please post them. THANKS again!! Please
post to the group.

As far as I know, Java uses different fonts on different computer systems so
making ascii art will be near impossible unless the chat is set to the
'courier' java font which will always be monospaced eg 'Courier New' on
Win95.

Well, I know that in the Yahoo Clubs chat, you can change the font to Courier,
so you can send any ASCII you like without having to adjust the spacing, but I
don't see any way of sending more than one line at a time in that chat. It must
be very much the same as the chat application you are talking about since they
are both Yahoo chat applications. Are those people sending the picture really
quickly? They may be using some type of program or macro if it comes through
fast, you should ask them how they do it.
