<H1>ASCII Artwork: The RTTY Collection</H1>
|
|
<P>
|
|
This is a collection of ASCII Art files from a site called
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.rtty.com">rtty.com</A>, run by George Hutchison (W7KSJ) and
|
|
William Bytheway (AA6ED). This site is dedicated to a machine called a "Radio
|
|
Teletype", and the amateur operatiors of these machines. Besides the technical
|
|
aspects and the lore, there are these picture files, most of them from the 1970's,
|
|
that represent ASCII art predating the BBS.
|
|
<P>
|
|
From the pages these were taken from: <I>"The Teletype Artwork on these pages is the
|
|
product of many different authors and artists over the years. Recent efforts on the
|
|
part of Bob Roehrig, John Foust, Tom Jennings, and John Sheetz have sparked new interest
|
|
in this art form.... We have found the easiest way to print the pictures is to save
|
|
the files to disk, and using the editor in DOS, call each one into the edit mode and
|
|
then print it. The DOS editor is also fairly straightforward in enabling corrections
|
|
and modifications."</I>
|
|
<P>
|
|
There are two different types of files here: PIX and POX. The .PIX files are easier to
|
|
decode: they are one line of text for every line printed. The .POX files use what are
|
|
called "overstrike" characters: some of the lines are meant to be printed over several
|
|
times (by not putting in a carriage return) so that the characters will be much darker
|
|
than would normally be seen in this situation. Work has been done at
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.rtty.com">rtty.com</A> to have Java viewers of the final files.
