It's a neat idea, but I can't actually see what it looks like at the moment as I'm on a black-and-white text terminal. That is why on this group only plain text art is called "ASCII art" and other techniques (HTML, ANSI, extended character sets) are called "text art". Why not provide an alternative output style, which uses different characters instead of colours? I promise I'll try your program properly as soon as I'm on a graphical terminal :) -- Harry Mason ("hjm200.ecs@soton@ac@uk" =~ tr/@./.@/)
