ASCII describes the codes that have codes from 00hex to 7Fhex. And for ascii-art you are only allowed to use the printables of those, like in this chart: ASCII Character Table The numbers show you the hex-code of ===================== the characters (e.g. the letter 'C' has xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx the code 43). `. 0123456789ABCDEF `,----------------. Only the characters that you can find 2x | !"#$%&'()*+,-./|. in this box are called ASCII, you 3x |0123456789:;<=>?|| shouldn't use any other. 4x |@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO|| 5x |PQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_|| Also you should see this as a box. 6x |`abcdefghijklmno|| If you don't then you have to change 7x |pqrstuvwxyz{|}~ || to a fixed-width font (e.g. COURIER). `----------------'| `----------------' Use only these characters and you will [alf] have more fun in news:alt.ascii-art You won't really find arts within this group that use other characters (except the early works of new posters...). It's because there are different encodings that have different characters in different places.

No, I wanted to flame the one that said "I hate lamers", because that kind of idiotic comment discourages people from getting involved in ascii art at all.
