Lines: 42 Sender: boba@gagme.wwa.com Approved: boba@gagme.wwa.com Message-ID: <2tn6rj$qbs@gagme.wwa.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: gagme.wwa.com Xref: nntp.gmd.de alt.ascii-art:11591 rec.arts.ascii:253 For the benefit of all present, and so I don't keep getting messages asking me what 'Tuor' means, I'll tell you all now... 'Tuor alone of mortal men was numbered among the Elder Race.' Tuor was a character from Middle-Earth, to whom an entire chapter from Tolkien's Silmarillion was dedicated. I haven't yet read it, but from what I've been told by a friend, he was a very cool chap. This isn't meant to be an ego-boosting exercise, it was just so I could have an original name which was unlikely to be emulated. Also, since I posted the file roman.flf, there have been several people asking me what they were supposed to do with it once they had it. Questions 10 and 11 in the FAQ (available from Mr Allison alias The Scarecrow) cover this topic, telling you all about Figlet and where to get it. To those of you who did email me, don't take this personally, it's just meant to be a help to you and others so that my 'Inbox' doesn't get cluttered with the same postings. With The Scarecrow's permission, I'd like to refer any queries you have about my or anybody else's postings to him - his email address appears on his postings. Anyway, thanks for all your comments - I don't mind receiving constructive criticism, so keep it coming! Tara a bit .88888888888888'"8888" "88" .o8888888o.
