If you are thinking of using colour codes in Ascii Art...please don't !



===================================================================

                               WARNING

====================================================================

PLEASE do *NOT* post Colour, Color, Control or Animation Codes to 
ASCII-ART newsgroups - or indeed ANY Internet newsgroup.  

It can cause an awful lot of trouble on Net systems worldwide.

If you wish to post Raw Code then UUENCODE it first !

Colour & Color Control Codes in subject titles and headers should be 
avoided entirely.  

====================================================================


Please do NOT post Colour & Color Control Codes in message headers 
and titles.  


     The problems are due to some Net software recognising the 
     Raw Code as commands which make the software do unwanted 
     things and can even cause a system to crash.  


This message is being reposted frequently because many newcomers
to the Net do not seem to know the problems caused by Control Codes.
