Pointer to the ASCII Art FAQ Sep 1996

There is always a continuous stream of newcomers to alt.ascii-art

until he gave up as the Moderator of the "rec.arts.ascii"
newsgroup in June 1996.
*** The following extract from the FAQ shows some locations for the
last issue of the FAQ but there is no guarantee these locations
remain valid.
