   Yes, ASCII Art Resources will still be available.  It has everything 
the FAQ has, and examples of everything at the end.  Plus it has examples 
throughout the file.

   Right now, ASCII Art Resources is over 130 K.  But I don't care too 
much about that, since it isn't posted.  I'll let the big version grow.  
But the FAQ shouldn't be over 40.  I've cut it to 43 for next weeks 
posting.  Will see if anybody says anything.
