Also it might shed some light for windows,mac,amiga,ect users as to why all that stuff in file_id.diz and *.nfo files looks like crap to them and it is supposed to be nice little boxes.You also could go into terminal emulation and ect,but lets keep the ascii-art faq on topic and maybe some urls to additional stuff that sort of vears of the course of frequently asked questions. I know that the main reason you are buged is that the faq calls 127-255 ansi and ya are detail oriented. anyway,ill exit as i guess this thread is relevant but i want to just get back ta looking at all them cool typewriter pictures.Ill keep looking in my mail. > Is anyone interested in including details on extended "PC-ASCII" and > "Amiga-ASCII" art in the FAQ?
