I think the origin of this dragon as we know it today is Scarecroes FTP site, where it is stored with the above heading - followed by more dragons also sent by Mr. Wagoner. When I copied the dragon I did not really believed M. J. Wagoner to be the artist but you never know. That's why I keep the 'from:' line. From my point of view this is a good compromise and if someone _really_ wants to know the artist then he/she can ask Mr. Wagoner. Hope that helps you even though I ain't got initials. :) Andreas Yoohoo! . -._ O / ` ' / \ ()) __ _..--.. .-'`-. .-d-b-. --' `_.-' ``.._. ` .' `. _. .-' ' ,-' ASCII Art Dictionary : - http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/~freise Alt.Ascii-Art FAQ : - http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/~freise/ascii/faq.html
