I know people think that aol really sucks, but in this case it might be a standout. I am a former aol member and was in the proggie scene (programs made for aol) and aol is home to some of the greatest ascii art designers i must say. I'll go find some programs and download them and post some of the ascii art if you would like me to. Blooder

Is it really ASCII art? or is it text art made in proportional Arial font and including non-ASCII characters? If so, it doesn't do the rest of the internet much good... many non-ASCII characters are not read properly by email readers. And the spacing will be off. Even the same font, Arial, will look different from system to system. I've seen some of the 'macros' on AOL... some are very good as there is much more flexibility in choice of characters and spacing of characters. But they are specific to AOL And they are not considered to be "ASCII art". -joan -- , _ {`--. { \/`o;====- {:}'-.}>, joan stark .----'-/`-/ {.--' )) _ mailto:spu...@juno.com `'-..-| / __ // /_/ /\/\ \_\_((_/___ ASCII ART GALLERY: jgs `--` )) \_\ http://www.ascii-art.com
