If you prefer to use the World Wide Web, I have a new WWW site for you to check out. Since I only started it yesterday, there are only there selections available right now. But I'm just learning how to format it. So if you are on a Unix system and it has, say, lynx available, you would tye, at the prompt: lynx http://gagme.wwa.com/~boba Then all you do is read and pick selections by using your arrow keys and the return. At this point, the following are available: o ASCII ART FAQ o ASCII Art Resources o MORE (Most Often Requested Edition) I'll add more as I figure out how to do it without wasting disk space here at WWA. -- .eeeeee..eeeee..eeeeee..eeeeeee..eeeeee..eeeee.eeeeeee...eeeeee..eee..eee..eee @@@@@@@:@@@@@@:@@@@@@@@:@@@@@@@@:@@@@@@:@@@@@@:@@@@@@@@:@@@@@@@@:@@@::@@@::@@@ %%%-----%%%----%%%--%%%-%%%--%%%-%%%----%%%----%%%--%%%-%%%--%%%-%%%--%%%--%%% &&&&&&++&&&++++&&&&&&&&+&&&&&&&++&&&&&++&&&++++&&&&&&&++&&&++&&&+&&&++&&&++&&& *||||||*|||****||||||||*||||||***|||||**|||****||||||***|||**|||*|||**|||**||| ====!!!=!!!====!!!==!!!=!!!=!!!==!!!====!!!====!!!=!!!==!!!==!!!=!!!==!!!==!!! :::::::#::::::#:::##:::#:::##:::#::::::#::::::#:::##:::#::::::::#::::::::::::: ......@@@.....@...@@...@...@@...@......@@.....@...@@...@@......@@@...........@

I have added some more files to the www page here. And I added a link to the Figlet server. The Figlet server is way cool. You can use it to Figletize your name. Check it out. On most systems that have lynx installed, you type: lynx http://gagme.wwa.com/~boba This will get you to my home page. Once you are there, you con check out the goodies and move on. -- _____ ____ _____ _______ ______ ____ _______ _____ ___ ___ ___ ::::::\ :::::\ ::::::\ :::::::\ ::::::\ :::::\:::::::\ ::::::\ :::| :::| :::| :::(__ ::: :::/_:::|:::|_:::|:::|_ ::: :::|_:::|:::| :::|:::| :::| :::| :::::\ ::| ::::::::|:::::::: :::::| ::| :::::::: :::| :::|:::| :::| :::| ____:::|:::\___:::| :::|:::|:::\ :::|___:::\___:::|:::\ :::|_:::|:::|_:::|_:::| :::::::|::::::::::| :::|:::| :::::::::::::::::::::| ::::::::::::|:::::::::::::| :::::: ::::: :::| :::|:::| ::: :::::: ::::: :::| ::: ::::::: ::::::::::::
Now if you go to my WWW page, you can get to Chris King's site, the
ASCII Art Bazaar, and the Figlet server. Plus, I've added a bunch of new
links to interesting (non-ASCII) places on the "OTHER GOODIES" page.
Check it out. On most Unix systems that have lynx installed, at the
prompt you type:
lynx http://gagme.wwa.com/~boba
Once you are connected:
o Use the up and down arrow keys to select what you want to see.
o Use the right arrow (or return key) to enter a selection, and the left
arrow to back out.
Remember, when you are on the web, you can select links that will take
you all over the world to different sites. It's as easy as pushing the
up or down arrow key to a selection and presing the right arrow to go
there. Check it out if you can.
