|     The blank lines missing from Martin's version are back where they
|     should be, character entities are used where appropriate (eg &lt;
|     for <), and the colour scheme is left as the default (I don't

Erm - Yes sorry about all that! I`ll take it point by point:

 * I`m not sure where those missing lines went - It looked ok in MSIE3 but
I couldn`t test with anything else 'cos that`s all I got!
 * As far as I know my HTML Editor does them character entities
automatically, but I`ll check!
 * I used the colour scheme I did to keep it the same as the rest of the
site - If people don`t like it, I`ll change it!

|     half a dozen HTML versions of various vintages floating around. This
|     version has been/will be sent to Joan and Martin for uploading.

|     Joan.)

If I get it before this weekend, I`ll update it then - But I rarely go
online during the week for long enough to upload the site.

This weekend I will also be updating the rest of the site so look out for
some more art there also!

If The Dutch Dude, Morfina and Hayley could possibly send me a zip of your
best asciis, It would be great cos I`ve lost a year of posts thanks to MS
Internet News deleting them!

K then, see you all soon........
