Control Codes:
-------------

PLEASE do *NOT* post Colour, Color, Control Codes, HTML or Animation 
Codes to ASCII-ART newsgroups - or indeed ANY Internet newsgroup.  

It can cause an awful lot of trouble on Net systems worldwide.

If you do wish to post Raw Code then UUENCODE it first !

Colour & Color Control Codes in subject titles and headers should be 
avoided entirely.  



Extended Character Set:
----------------------

The only Ascii characters which should be posted and used in Ascii
Art are:  
               Decimal characters   32 to 127.

The Extended Character Set of Decimal 128 to 255 made by using the 
Alt key, and used for ANSI pictures, must be UUENCODED before 
posting to the Net and should not be used in ASCII artwork pictures.  

The Decimal Characters 0 to 31 are control codes and should not
be used in ASCII artwork.
