Re: Has anybody seen an ASCII art like this?

ASCII by definition cannot be created on a manual typewriter.  ASCII is not
just text and it HAS to be from the ASCII Chart.  There is no point arguing
the fact as it is a FACT so opening your mind will make no difference unless
the ASCII chart is changed by the standards authorities involved.
