Hi, I'm wondering how can I take a look to your ASCII art images. What kind of program must I use? (now I'm using outlook under win95). Thanks.
Although the best one is good ole notepad or an equivelent. Word and those fangle dangle editors might do some strange stuff, because drawing (or would it be writing?) in ascii isn't exactly a report format. So just watch out for that. There are also some other programs, like GIF -> ASCII, and even some ones that act almost as drawing tools...pretty cool if you just want to learn, but notepad is still the awesomest =) .----<<<<<<<<REPLY SEPATOR>>>>>>>------- | David L.

'--------------------------------- Change your Outlook font to a monospaced one, such as Lucida Console, Courier New or FixedSys. If, as your headers suggest, you are using Outlook *Express* (a different beast) you can find a quick registry patch to do this in the ASCIIArt Documents Archive. Also in the archive is a list of monspaced fonts. Both of these documents are on the 'older documents' page, as they are no longer updated for whatever reason. A UK mirror of the aformentioned ADA is at: http://website.lineone.net/~martin.atkins/ada/ Where you can also find a list of other mirrors. Unfortunately there is currently no Italian mirror.
