The Star Trek ascii-art FAQ [part 1 of 6]

[Changes since the last post:

- Due to a request, I've decided to attach all new items onto the end of this
  file. ("That way you wouldn't have to search for everything.")

- removed a "mistake" from part 2. (see the above and check below)

- Added another top view of the Enterprise C to part 2

- Added more drawings of the "Enterprise E" to part 2

- minor repair to the "Rio Grande - top view" in part 3

- added Ingram Class ships to section 3

- added "Ptolemy Class with 1 transport container - side view" to section 3

- Added another frontal view of the Enterprise D to section 2

- More signatures added to part 6]

Welcome to the Star Trek ascii art FAQ! This is something I'd been
thinking of off and on for a while, but never got around to. Until now. 
["Now" being sometime in August of 1994. <g>]

What's the Star Trek ascii FAQ? Its a compilation of the ascii art that
happens to be floating around the net in multiple and various locations. 
I aim for it to be a sort of centralized repository for those who don't
want to have to hunt down what they're after by method of trial and error. 

---

Ok, "so what's where and how do I submit stuff?"

Well, to switch the order a little, submissions of stuff not presently in 
the FAQ should be e-mailed to dionisio@infinet.com. Please make the 
subject "ST-FAQ submission".

And now for "what's where"...

Part 1 - General info
Part 2 - The _Enterprise_ (All NCCs)
Part 3 - Other Federation Ships (Everything BUT the _Enterprise_)
Part 4 - The Alien section (Romulan, Klingon, etc... ships & starbases)
Part 5 - Ascii pics (ascii-GIFs) of characters. (Picard, Spock, etc...)
Part 6 - Misc. (Communicators, phasors, and stuff that wouldn't fit in 
	 the other catagories (YES, cows too.))

---

"Why don't you have more stuff than just ascii drawings? Why not include 
bios of the crew, where to get the Star Trek manuals, the phone number of 
the sexy babe who played Uhura..."

<Sound of somebody dying a death so bloody that even Klingons blanch> 
Next question...

---

"I've seen drawings, large drawings, that you don't have. Why not?"

In the interest of making this fun for everyone, NO pics greater than 80 
columns wide will be included in the FAQ. 80 column screens are standard. 
And while some people can enjoy the 100+ column drawings that are out 
there, most everybody else will just see gibberish.

---

"I've seen stuff very similar to what is in the FAQ. Should I send it?"

If, in your opinion, what you've found is better, easier on the eyes, or 
a repeat of a drawing already in the FAQ only larger/smaller, yes, send it.

---

"I'm trying to fine tune something I've drawn but can't make it any 
better. Help!"

Post your work to alt.ascii-art and ask for help. Once you're satisfied
with the results, post them to rec.ascii.art (a moderated newsgroup) and 
e-mail a copy to me.

---

"I know what I want, but I don't want to wade through all the other stuff 
to get to it. What do I do?"

First, save this FAQ to your home directory. Then use an editor to search 
for the type of thing you're looking for. (Ie, from pico, enter 
<control>-<w> and type "phasor" to jump to the phasors in part 6. Or 
enter "DS9" to get to the starbase in section 4.)

---

"I've noted a typo. Can I point it out without getting my molecules 
scattered across the cosmos in a 'freak transporter accident'?"

If you grovel enough, maybe.

---

"I've seen several ascii-GIFs of the crew members of the various Star 
Treks, but you don't have them, or haven't put them in after I sent them. 
Why?"

The answer is either that I've been to busy (or lazy), or that the 
picture just didn't leap out at me. (Ie, I've seen several ascii-GIFs of 
Scotty, but I have as yet to see one that I can glance at and say 
definitively, "that's Scotty." If I have to be *told* who it is, it wont 
find its way in here. (So, yes, I'm being an art critic I suppose.)

---

"How often is this posted?"

I try to remember to post it around the beginning of each month.
