  Here are some neat border designs.  They were collected and posted by 
Steve Sullivan (who does the 'Samll ASCII Pics' collections).  See below for 
how to use them.

   How do you use them?

   If you can copy and paste, most are just simple repeating patterns, 
and you can copy and paste them to make complete lines.  You then have 
to fake the vertical portions.  I keep thinking I will make vertical 
sections for them, but there isn't enough time.

   Here's an example of a full border made from one of the above patterns:

+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|                                                                       |
+                                                                       +
|                                                                       |
+                                                                       +
|                                                                       |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

   Some designs have a 'center', for example:

#====}==) #===(==} {==)===# (=={====#

   In this pattern, you could repeat it:

#====}==) #===(==} {==)===# (=={====# #====}==) #===(==} {==)===# (=={====#

   Or you could treat its center as the center of the border, like:

#====}==) #===(==} #====}==) #===(==} {==)===# (=={====# {==)===# (=={====#

   Hope this helps.
