BA> I was just wondering if somebody could do that with these? I hope this is what you had in mind. I took care to begin and end the first line of each border the same way as the original artist.

.......a bunch of borders deleted....... what about the double line and star border, I haven't seen it around anywhere, and it is the one that I use in my sig.

Someone posted a very nice wavy line a while ago. I added sides to
it and came up with this. Maybe some real artist could fine-tune it
a bit?

Wow. That looks really cool! Makes me wish I had thought of it, myself. :) Well, hey, I kinda DID think of it myself, since I made the wavy line... *grin* -. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .- `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' _ __ _ )^)^) (_( )^ (__ )_) | (_) gra...@acsu.buffalo.edu __.' __.' .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. _.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._

Hey!! I did the same thing last week! Or just about. I did push it a little further as you'll see. It's after I toyed around with this stuff that I had the idea of doing the ASCII puzzle. Anyway, here is the post I was saving for later this week... Someone posted this little SIN wave in one of the ASCII groups: .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `. I thought I could use that to make a fancy border or something. Here is how it turned out: .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `. ( . .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. . ) `. `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' `._.' .' ) ) ( ( ,' ,' `. `. ( ( ) ) `. `. .' .' ) ) ( ( ,' ,' `. `. ( ( ) ) `. `. .' .' ) ) ( ( ,' ,' `. `.
