hello i am making a "macro draw" program for aol... and there are alot of macros on this message board but aol uses the font "arial" and i was wondering if it would be ok if i "converted" the macros so they would look fine in the font arial. if not then thats ok... (of course i would leave your sig. on the macros.) well lat0rz -sawp
Or where i can find a "LOT" of macros that were made in the font "Arial" thanks lat0rz

ASCII art, especially that contained here, is expressly intended to be viewed in fixed-width fonts lik the above. I think someone came up with a patch for lesser versions of AOL's software, but I can't remember who. -- ___________________________________________________________________ | . . | * http://www2.southwind.net/~natedac/ * | | _ _ _|_ _ _| _ _ |-----------------------------------------| | |/ \`_| | /_)/ |`_|/ ` | GCS d- s++:++ a-- C++ UB>++ P+ L>++ !E | | | |(_| \_ \_ \_|(_|\__ | W++ N++ K- w--- M- V?

Use keyword, "momsonline". Look for 'games' and then look for 'macro folder' in games area. That should send you to a good site-- -joan -- _ _.-' ) (_ .
