See how your line got cut? That's what happens if you forget the "Enter" key.

Well, I just discovered this group this morning, but maybe you might be
interested in a program called TheDRAW, which is designed for the creation
of ASCII/ANSI pictures. It's got a lot of colour-related pictures, but it
can save to pure ASCII.

If you can't find TheDRAW, (www.shareware.com might be a good place to start;
probably all these other people have it as well :) then with a little mucking
about, MS-DOS Edit works very nicely as well. I'd recommend the one from 
Windows 95, but the DOS 5 or 6 version would do nicely as well.

Just out of interest, the Windows 95 Edit *will* work on DOS 6. Or 5, 
probably. Not that you should pirate the one good feature of 
Windows 95, of course. Definitely (?) not. Out of the question.

P.S. Sorry for the *lame* .sig, but really, I didn't realise the vogue, and
like I said, I didn't discover this newsgroup 'till this morning.

P.P.S. *Is* that how you spell definitely?
