Take a look (download the source if you like) at the following URL using a text browser or even the latest Netscape beta with image loading turned off: http://www.dcs.aber.ac.uk/~bmh1/seagulls/main_index.html It contains a Figlet title and the image in my sig (except that I was unable to use quotes (") so I made to with tildes (~) --- I even tried using " to get a quote but it just displayed " :^( The only other character I _know_ you can't use is the > symbol ). Another one, where the GIF is entirely replaced by Figlet text is an unfinished page at: http://web.cps.msu.edu/~seneris/wes/wes.html BTW, if you use <li> for bulleted lists, lynx gives you asterisks, * Cheerio, Ryan. .oo8888oo. o8888o.
