Hi Finn,

Thanks for the info, very interesting!

Because I couldn't outline your first ASCII drawing I was looking for
pictures on the IBM site. There should be eleven, but an error was the
result after clicking the 'view images' link. Did you see the images?
Do you know why I couldn't outline your first drawing.

Thanks in advance,

The MotMan
