Here's my feeble attempt...Any ideas on how to
make it look better and possibly make a version
encased in a circle?

First of all, you should use only ASCII-characters. Take a look at this nice list: ASCII Character Table The numbers show you the hex-code of ===================== the characters (e.g. the letter 'C' has xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx the code 43). `. 0123456789ABCDEF `,----------------. Only the characters that you can find 2x | !"#$%&'()*+,-./|. in this box are called ASCII, you 3x |0123456789:;<=>?|| shouldn't use any other. 4x |@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO|| 5x |PQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_|| Also you should see this as a box. 6x |`abcdefghijklmno|| If you don't then you have to change 7x |pqrstuvwxyz{|}~ || to a fixed-width font (e.g. COURIER). `----------------'| `----------------' Use only these characters and you will [alf] have more fun in news:alt.ascii-art I'll try to guess what the characters you used should look like (for they quite sure look different over here than what they look at your end): /\ / \ / \ -------/------\------- `~--._/ \_.--~' /`~-- --~`\ / _--'`--_ \ /_-~ ~-_\ ����-Nightshifter It looks quite nice that way.

Pentagrams are pretty hard to make, especially signature sized. Here is my best try so far.

Hi you,
It's nice the star you made, but it would be better if you visit the FAQ and copy the ASCII characters or something.
If you want a star here's one I made:
/\
_____/__\_____
`._ / \ _.`
`/ \'
/ `-..-' \
/ .-'`-. \
gnv /.-' `-.\
` `
An here's that one with a circle:
______
.-'` /\ `'-.
.'_____/__\_____`.
/ `._ / \ _.` \
| `/ \' |
| / `-..-' \ |
\ / .-'`-. \ /
gnv`./.-' `-.\.'
`-..______..-'
Remove the gnv if you want to.
Enjoy them
See you

It is all on the webpage - and it's a loooong file :) Some in short: The first part is what one person is a geek in. E.g. GCS/MU would be a geek of computer science and music. The rest of the codes are ratings on special topics. More + means more interested in it, more - means less interested. E.g. P stands for perl (P+++ ;), 5 for Babylon-5 (5+++), PGP for itself :) More to be explained on the page - check it out and do your own code in no time.

I'm pretty certain I recognize the mapping. The reason ascflip leaves "4" alone in all the mappings is that there's really no ASCII character that'd have the overall shape of an upside-down "4". About the closest approximation for contours would be "q", but that'd pretty much ruin any textures containing "4". "V" also comes close, but breaks subtly in certain contexts because both of its sides slope. Of course, you can always make your own map file - it's not that hard. -- Ilmari Karonen - http://www.sci.fi/~iltzu/ "Unless you perform unnatural acts, indexes start at 0, not 1." -- Larry Rosler in comp.lang.perl misc
