I imagine that it's possible that in the next couple of months these groups could get blasted with questions about where the FAQ is. Maybe we'll get lucky and it won't happen, but it's better to be prepared. During the next couple of months I will post info about where the FAQ can be obtained. Maybe that will help. Anyway, I haven't this info in a whlie, so, here goes: Tha FAQ is available from news groups, FTP, Gopher, WWW, email, finger: o News Groups: - rec.arts.ascii - alt.ascii-art - alt.binaries.pictures.ascii - alt.ascii-art.animation - comp.graphics - news.answers - alt.answers - rec.answers - comp.answers o FTP Sites: -> Host: ftp.wwa.com Path: pub/Scarecrow File: FAQ URL: ftp://ftp.wwa.com/pub/Scarecrow/FAQ -> Host: ftp.uu.net Path: usenet/news.answers File: ascii-art-faq.Z URL: ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/news.answers/ascii-art-faq.Z -> Host: rtfm.mit.edu Path: pub/usenet-by-group/rec.arts.ascii File: FAQ_-_ASCII_Art_Questions_&_Answers_(*.*_-_*_K) URL: ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-group/rec.arts.ascii -> Host: ftp.mty.itesm.mx Path: pub/usenet/news.answers File: ascii-art-faq URL: ftp://ftp.mty.itesm.mx/pub/usenet/news.answers/ascii-art-faq -> Host: src.doc.ic.ac.uk Path: pub/usenet/news.answers/rec.arts.ascii File: FAQ_-_ASCII_Art_Questions_&_Answers_(*.*_-_*_K) URL: ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/pub/usenet/news.answers/rec.arts.ascii -> Host: ftp.sunet.se Path: pub/usenet/rec.arts.ascii File: FAQ_-_ASCII_Art_Questions_&_Answers_(*.*_-_*_K) URL: ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/usenet/rec.arts.ascii -> Host: ftp.cs.ruu.nl Path: pub/NEWS.ANSWERS File: ascii-art-faq URL: ftp://ftp.cs.ruu.nl/pub/NEWS.ANSWERS/ascii-art-faq -> Host: ftp.Germany.EU.net Path: pub/newsarchive/news.answers File: ascii-art-faq.Z URL: ftp://ftp.Germany.EU.net/pub/newsarchive/news.answers/ascii-art-faq.Z -> Host: ftp.funet.fi Path: pub/doc/rtfm/rec.arts.ascii File: FAQ_-_ASCII_Art_Questions_&_Answers_(*.*_-_*_K).gz URL: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/doc/rtfm/rec.arts.ascii -> Host: ftp.edu.tw Path: USENET/FAQ/rec/arts/ascii File: FAQ_-_ASCII_Art_Questions_&_Answers_(*.*_-_*_K).gz URL: ftp://ftp.edu.tw/USENET/FAQ/rec/arts/ascii -> Host: ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de Path: pub/comp/usenet/news.answers File: ascii-art-faq URL: ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/pub/comp/usenet/news.answers/ascii-art-faq -> Host: ftp://hwarang.postech.ac.kr Path: pub/usenet/news.answers File: ascii-art-faq URL: ftp://hwarang.postech.ac.kr/pub/usenet/news.answers/ascii-art-faq -> Host: ftp.uni-paderborn.de Path: doc/FAQ File: FAQ_-_ASCII_Art_Questions_&_Answers_(*.*_-_*_K) URL: ftp://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/doc/FAQ o Gopher Servers: -> Hast: jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca Menu Items: 10, 12, 1 -> Host: src.doc.ic.ac.uk Menu Items: 37, 30, 647, 3 -> Host: gopher.uni-paderborn.de Menu Items: 12, 8, 4, 647, 3 -> Host: cc1.kuleuven.ac.be Menu Items: 3, 3, 858 -> Host: gopher.Germany.EU.net Menu Items: 7, 1, 19, 14, 54 -> Host: gopher.win.tue.nl Menu Items: 8, 6, 3, 4, 20, 53 -> Host: gopher.Germany.EU.net Menu Items: 7, 1, 20, 14, 62 -> Host: gopher.uni-paderborn.de Menu Items: 12, 4, 10, 5, 703, 3 o World Wide Web: Scarecrow's WWW Link -> URL: http://gagme.wwa.com/~boba/ascii.html Select: ASCII Art Reference (Web version with links to everything) Select: ASCII ART FAQ (posted text version) Select: ASCII Art Resources (text version with illustrations) -> URL: http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/ascii-art-faq/faq.html -> URL: http://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/usenet/news-faqs/rec.arts.ascii o FTP Mail Servers: -> Address: ftp-mail@uni-paderborn.de Message: help -> Address: mail-server@cs.ruu.nl Message: help -> Address: archive-server@Germany.EU.net Message: help -> Address: ftpmail@ftp.edu.tw Message: help -> Address: ftp-mailer@informatik.tu-muenchen.de Message: help o Email: -> Address: boba@wwa.com Subject: REQUEST FAQ Subject: REQUEST RESOURCES o Finger by typing the following at a prompt on mony sites: finger asciifaq@wwa.com (turn on text capture first) OR finger asciifaq@wwa.com | more (you can read it a page at a time) OR finger asciifaq@wwa.com > faq (saves it to a file called 'faq') -- . + ' . * . .
