Hello!  I'm working on a World Wide Web page, with absolutely no images, 
just ASCII art.  (aren't you proud?)  And, so far, I have this for the 
first screen:

(ignore <pre> and </pre> ... they just tell HTML to leave it "as-is")

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
<pre>
	__        __   _                            _        
	\ \      / /__| | ___ ___  _ __ ___   ___  | |_ ___  
	 \ \ /\ / / _ \ |/ __/ _ \| '_ ` _ \ / _ \ | __/ _ \ 
	  \ V  V /  __/ | (_| (_) | | | | | |  __/ | || (_) |
	   \_/\_/ \___|_|\___\___/|_| |_| |_|\___|  \__\___/

The Figlet text was done using fonts from Scarecrow's site.

Hey, if you hurry, you'll be in time for the opening.  :-)

Just a side note:

If you put ASCII art on the Web in an HTML file, make sure to translate
"special" characters to entity references so Web browsers don't choke.

Here's a simple Perl program that will procees an ASCII file from
standard input and output the HTML version of the file to
standard output for inclusion into an HTML document:

    #! /usr/bin/perl
    while (<>) {
	s/\&/\&amp;/g;
	s/</\&lt;/g;
	s/>/\&gt;/g;
	print STDOUT;
    }
    # end


	--ewh
