Please tell me if the following sign shows up or not.
I used the special characters in DOS to draw it and I
don't think the drawing will show up in a window environment.

I use ProComm Plus (using VT102 emulation) and *I* can see your sign just fine. I couldn't tell you what the newsreader we use here on The Cleveland Free-Net is, but I have posted simple lines like -=+*���ۯ this �۲��*+=- before, and even some HIGH-ASCII `boxes' but I haven't had a positive response on others being able to `read' them. This one user "r"eplied to my postie, full quoting what the graphic I had made, and his words sounded negative, but on my screen was a perfect copy of what I had done. *SHRUG* He couldn't see it but I could. I like your "HELLO" sign. Good work! It looks like something someone might use on a BBS welcome message. Take Care and B l e s s e d B e !! P.S. Is there anyone else out there who can see her sign!? > ���������������������������������������������������������� > �������������������������������������������������������������� > �������������������������������������������������������������� > �������������������������������������������������������������� > ����۲����۲���������۰����۲���������۲��������������۲������ > ����۲����۲����۲���������۲���������۲���������۲����۲����� > ����������۲�������۰������۲���������۲���������۲����۲����� > ����۲����۲����۲���������۲���������۲���������۲����۰����� > ����۰����۰���������۰���������۰���������۰���������۰������ > �������������������������������������������������������������� > ������������������������������������������������������������

Joe is exactly right. I can see the HELLO, but I am sure that it looks different on my Mac than on your IBM. It's not bad at all, but you're probably seeing something much better.
