It was printed on a 132 coumn band printer and used extensive overstriking. The two pictures I have are: - the head of horse - the face of Jesus with a crown of thorns I still have the printed output. It is absolutely amazing. From a few feet back it looks like a black and white photo. I believe I also have a deck of cards (yow!) that has some of the output. Does anyone: remember these have access to these have any use for the punchcards? I've thought about donating them to the Computer Museum in Cambridge. I'ld also consider sending them out to someone who be motivated to reverse engineer the picture. -- Allen Leibowitz Parke-Davis/Warner-Lambert Ann Arbor, MI 48104 USA http:://www.msen.com/~allen +1 313.998.3314 Either CONFESS now or we go to ``PEOPLE'S COURT''!! -- zippy
