When I was at college (many year ago now...) they had an ASCII picture
of a cat on the computer operations room wall - it took up (if my memory
serves me right) around four to six 132-character-width pages of
lineprinter paper (told you it was a long time ago) in a 2 x 2 or 2 x 3
matrix...

Has anyone come across this picture - it looked stunning from across the
room - this was in the days of fixed font band and golf-ball printers...
I reckon I could get it down to a couple of pages of A4 using 6-point
courier...

p.s. keep up the great work!

I'm pretty sure I've seen it in Joan G. Stark's page, but I believe it
was in the "other artists" section. Go there and take a look.

Yep- it's in my homepage- under my FAVORITES!  It was made by
Seal do Mar aka Armando Franzao (who frequents this newsgroup)...
 His work is fabulous-
His homepage is at:

Hi!  I knew that you were out there!  I'm glad you did step in...and correct my
typos... I wasn't able to use my copy/paste option to write out your URL so
I copied it by hand- hard to do with all those numbers and dots and letters :)
Sorry I goofed and caused any inconveniences...  I just love your work- have
you done some recently?
