If you use mIRC, a better way to do what you want to do (since I dont see %nn or %az in your pic) would be to have your pic saved as a plain .txt (like dragon.txt) in your folder for the IRC program. You could then "play" the txt in a channel with the following command. .dragon:/play dragon.txt with a greeting .dragon:say Hello $1 you look good (licking lips) | play dragon.txt for more information you may contact me after 8:00 pm most nights (pacific coast time USA) on irc server irc.bluedwarf.net I am most often there in #ascii_art MikeChat -- .-. .-.

Try this and remember that spaces in text pictures are $chr(160) as seen in
character map.

Also, I wasn't sure what you had in mind with the colors so I fixed it.

Hmmmzz... maybe, but i ain't quite able te generate the character, coz i use linux, and i dunnot know (yet) how to get ASCCI characters (i is possible, i know that).

I >you would be so kind to show me the char, you could make me xreme happy :-)) ASCII is the same the world over, it stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Now i'm no Linux expert, but i think that if you hold down the Alt key and type 255 on the numeric keyboard (the right side of the keyboard), that you wil get a hardspace. Mind you, Alt+255 is _not_ ASCII, but it would generate an "invisible character" if you will so that you won't disturb the art itself. -- Peter Punk \ / ---\\\\--- / \ Op zoek gaan naar buitenaards leven?

I've found that on irc alt+160 usually works the best.

Well ok, THAT was just the problem I CANT?!? I know wath ascii is, char 255 is an (extended) ascii char, but let me type alt+255 lets my compu think i want to go to desktop number 255, and since i use only 6 is't kindo imposible... :-)) But now tou told me that char 255 a <HARD> space is, i know what you mean :-) -- Windows leads to fear, fear leads to hate, hate leads to Linux <DeXteR>
If you're using emacs hit ^Q then tye three digits in octal. So 255 (octal 377 ^Q377) � 160 (octal 240 ^Q240) � To work out what someting is in octal (if you find it hard to do in your head, start gdb and type "p/o <num>". There are hundreds more ways to do it in emacs probably, but that's what I do. The question with 8859/1 extension characters is "Yes it's art, but is it ASCII?" :) Dan. -- http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~dans/story

I can do anything with Windows but i suck big time at Linux. (Not that i haven't tried, but i really need someone to "hold my hand" and show me the ropes before i can do it all by myself.)
I just saw one of my Christmas scenes on a website. Nice to know people are find them and using them. I try not to get too burned when someone claims them as their own. Thanks Yatty. I use my initials on my pictures, ldb. I got married in December but I'm keeping my maiden initials. ;) On Mon, 26 Mar 2001 19:21:34 -0600, "yAtGiRL tHE bUcKeT" <yat...@subdimension.com> wrote: > >: Before you use MY ASCII ART you better ADD MY INITIALS back to >: it!!!!!! >: >: Laura ldb >: > >On my regular ng, a friend of mine posted the desktop pc you did a while >back, it had your initials on it.
