I'm not sure if Colin will see this message as he has been very
ill for several weeks... if anyone would like to share a word
with him, please email me and I will forward it onto his email
address...

And Colin, if you do find this posting, I'm glad to see that you're
well enough to be visiting us again...

Thank you Joan for your kind public posting and also your exchange of email
messages.

I am now very happy to hve returned home after 3 weeks in hospital. All the
trouble has been the result of two massive heart attacks I had way back in
June 1991

Glad you are back and out of the hospital Colin. Hope you are feeling
much better and having a great New Year's Eve and 1999.

Thanks, I cheated though. I just remodelled the hands from one I've
had on my site for a few months. Have a look at the original:

Happy New Year to those already in 1999, those celebrating the change
over and those (like me) still lagging back in 1998,

What I see:

http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/pics/temp/ldb-ascii.gif

OUCH! :(


Looking closer at the page I find some of the worst html I have ever
seen:


<br><font face="FixedSys">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
.-#-----.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /|\&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; .---'-'---.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
.-#-----.</font>
<br><font face="FixedSys">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ___ /_________\&nbsp;&nbsp;
//|\\&nbsp;&nbsp; /___________\&nbsp; /_________\</font>
<br><font face="FixedSys">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /___\ |[] _ []|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
//|\\&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; | A /^\ A |&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; |[] _ []| _.O,_</font>
<br><font face="FixedSys">....|"#"|.|&nbsp; |*|&nbsp; |...///|\\\...|&nbsp;&nbsp;
|"|&nbsp;&nbsp; |....|&nbsp; |*|&nbsp; |..(^).... ldb</font>
<br>&nbsp;


You can present ascii art in html documents, but *that* is not a good
method! :(

How to do it properly?

1. Do NOT use "Mozilla/4.5 [en] (Win95; I) [Netscape]" (or any other
automatic code generator).

* Why?
Because they are unable to _guess_ what it is you _really_ want
to do.
* What do do instead?
Use a plain-text editor (e.g. "Notepad").

2. Read this page:
