I reviewed the ASCII copy. Several of the files, including JOHNDEAN and MOON (I did not check 100% of them) are also in David Gessewein's copy of line printer art from Princeton at: http://www.pdp8online.com/ftp/ascii_art/ppt/ For MOON, as an example, once I trimmed the first 2 lines and the trailing "form feed" line (a lone '1' in the first column), and converted it to UNIX line terminators, was a 100% match. The file names are slightly different, but the picture body and even the comments are the same. > I'm about to read a card deck for an old work > associate who is reasonably sure it has some ASCII art on it (it's > unlikely to be a "lost" picture, but there's always a chance). Thus my comment... it would be surprising to find a lost work at this point, so it's worth looking, just in case. I need to fire up my LA180 again - it will do the overstrike pictures. I used it 30 years ago to print the high-detail photo of the cat that was popular then. Took a long, long time to print. Thanks! -ethan
