I've seen some nice scissors implemented, but now that I need them (of course) I can't find 'em. Anyone got something like the following? OO O / ------ Clip here -----o---- /\ O \ Preferrably, better than I've done! <g> Thanks. dav...@infoway.com The Infoway BBS (415)898-8427

Well, I don't know that they are any better, but here is my "cut" line:
O / \ O
--------------- X ---------- cut here ---------- X ---------------
0 \ / 0

I don't recall anybody posting this one. It's from the TTU Gopher. I
saw when I was fixing the link in ASCII Art Reference (the Web version of
the FAQ).

I guess you could just turn the sissors around to face the other way: - - - - - - - - - - - >8------ begin ----------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - >8------ end ----------------------------- But then the scissors look a little wrong. *sigh* guess its because Im right handed :) -- Reagan Blundell The bats have left the bell tower nod...@desire.apana.org.au The victims have been bled Red velvet lines the black box Bela Lugosi's dead -- Bauhaus
Here's another 'cut here' thing:
o / b e g i n
_ _ _ _ \/ ___________________________________________________________
/\ c u t
O \ h e r e
e n d o /
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ \/ _____________
c u t /\
h e r e O \
I guess they're kind of big for the intended purpose, but maybe
somebody might want to use them.
Here's another version, one line smaller:
o / b e g i n
_ _ _ _ X _____________________ c u t _______________________________
O \ h e r e
e n d o /
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ c u t _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ X _____________
h e r e O \
And one line less:
_ _ _ o,/ _________________ b e g i n _______________________________
O'\ c u t h e r e
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ e n d _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ o,/ _____________
c u t h e r e O'\
And a one line version:
_ _ _ ;< __________ b e g i n c u t h e r e ______________________
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ e n d c u t h e r e _ _ _ _ ;< _____________
