Oh, and when you post here, ignore the current flock of trolls, they think they are quite original
and entertaining as most trolls do, being quite possessed with themselves. However despite their
grotesque disfiguration and blatant vulgarisms they are no more that mites on a gnats back, and have
no other power than what responses they get from others. 
There are two tutorials by JRO on this page http://www.bluedwarf.net/ascii/index.html

btw interesting plane.

OBASCII: Lesser Large Eared Troll, under its bridge.
