Re: Harmonigopher FAQ

[Chris Pierce <pierccm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

I've got alot to say about all this, but I don't have the time right
now (too damn many programs to do).

I'll just address (briefly) the things in this message (since I
thought I could do it quickly).  #:)

I like the thoughts Jack (and Winslow who started us off on this one).

Tim makes a good point, we SHOULD use picture files to represent this
things.  But I think we should ALSO use the ASCII pictures.  Not
everybody in this wonderful CyberWorld have the neat-O picture viewing
capabilities that some of us have....  So we need to have some sort of
goodies for the TEXT-only viewers as well as the Fully Graphics
Capable systems (I use TEXT-only terminals most of the time myself).

Besides, I just LOVE Jack's ASCII Harps...they're so neat....
