MRO to Anton Shepelev:

I meant the general aesthetics of  ANSI-art,  and  no,
those  characters  are not part of the ASCII 7-bit en-
coding:

MR> oh, now i know what you mean. i was drowned a bub-

Is my writing *that* bad?

MR> just  use a different ansi editor.  or contact the

MR> didn't notice.

I  will  try.  This being Synchronet, I thought `sync-
draw' would be a bit more popular here...

MR> get a copy of thedraw registered

I never managed to get a properly  registered,  rathen
than  brutally  cracked, copy of the latest version of
TheDraw.  I have tried some that claimed to be "regis-
tered",  but  they  were  either  old,  or  buggy,  or
cracked, or all of those.  Futhermore, I prefer a Free
program to a proprietary one.
