REQ: Playing Cards

I'd like some ascii playing cards to put in my DOS bassed black jack
game.  I guess I'd need the 4 suites,  maybe like this:

/~\/~\  
\    /
  V

But what I really find daunting are the face cards and the decorative
Ace.  Does anyone have anything like this?

THANKS!

Well if it really is DOS-based then you've got all the suits as characters,
you lucky person.

I had a go at this on a UNIX workstation.  I was hoping to get a patience
to sit on the screen, but it got too large.  I preferrred just using one 
letter for the suits (s,h,d,c) - lower case so it didn't get confused with
A,J,Q,K.  A bit like this...

     ,---------.
     |9s       |
     |  s   s  |
     |         |
     |  s   s  |
     |    s    |
     |  s   s  | 
     |         |
     |  s   s  |
     |       9s|
     `---------'

Dead naff mebbe, but it did reduce the cards to a size they didn't shriek
at you.  Being a single ASCII char it would be a doddle to swap them for the
actual suits if your terminal has them.

"You lucky person." :) Such language!!!  Here are some line versions of the
suits:

 ()   /\   /\  ("\/")
(  ) (  ) <  >  \  /
 /\   /\   \/    \/

Hmph...not very good, but small!
