I'm looking for an archive or something with the ascii art from the "olden" days. Back in the late 70's (when an Epson MX80 was $800 and state of the art) there used to be tons of printer art -- even CPM files. Usually playmates and Star Trek (see -- some things never change). Does anyone have any idea where they might be. Jim Kajpust - Personal Freedoms - Michigan

I've got some on TRS-80 Color Computer II tapes, if anything still exists to read them...... Also some on some TRS-80M3 Pro-DOS disks...... The problem is I don't have anything to read them..... HIH, (NOT) :-) Sorry not to be of any help. :-( -- --ran...@slip.net (Randy Gardner) --http://www.slip.net/~randyg/index.htm - *New* Download a maze program that lets you actually walk *inside* the maze!!
