I issued these pictures previously in two files named PINNART1 and PINNART2.
I'm re-issuing them  because I asked in those files that they not be used in
any  commercial  product  (unless you wanted to pay me lots of money).   Now,
though, I don't care.  I just don't care!

PINN-ART can be very useful...

 If you're a consultant, you can make your customers swoon with delight.
 If you're a SysOp, you can fancy-up your local IBM-oriented BBS service.
 You can add a little pizzazz to your personal programs.

PINN-ART  does not use  any  characters  between  Decimal 0  and  Decimal 31.
This makes it safe for  all  telecommunications  applications,  provided that
the  user  does  not  "strip the  high bit".   Most  PC-oriented telecom pro-
grams can be configured so that they  don't  strip the high bit.   They might
call this a "Full Character Set" or "Full Ascii Mode".

There aren't a  LOT of pictures in here,  but each one takes a  LONG  time to
create.   If you want some idea of HOW long, try one, yourself!   It isn't as
easy as it looks!

In case you're interested,  the artist's name is Timothy Campbell.  That also
happens to be the name of the person writing these  little bits that keep the
pictures from clashing together.  Of course,  I only have a certain amount to
say, so I'll probably shut up, soon.

By the way, I try to keep the pictures small, so they don't take up too much
room on the screen.  So, if  you're saying to yourself,  "Why did he make it
so darned BIG?",  figure it  this way:  I probably TRIED to make it smaller!

This is the smallest font I can manage.  PINN-ART #1's FONT1 and FONT2 cover-
ed all the letters  (with slightly flakey X's and Z's),  but this one is only
two lines high, so some letters simply can't be done.   However, as the exam-
ples show, this restricted character set still has many uses.

The  last example  is perhaps  "over-dressed"  for  such a  simple font.  You
might want to use it for a company logo or something,  using standard charac-
ters to fill in the middle space.  Be sure to center all the lines.





My friend Ron  points out to me that some  (or maybe most)  of these pictures
"lose something in the translation" when displayed by certain video cards.

If you're  using PINN-ART for applications in which the pictures will be seen
on a variety of monitors,  you should consider viewing them with several dif-
ferent video adaptor cards.

I'll get  back  to  this  subject  in a moment.  But first,  some more office
icons.

If you're a consultant developing software for a single user,  you don't have
to worry about a variety of displays viewing PINN-ART.   You'll get to see it
on-site when you test it.  Most business applications use monochrome video.

If you're writing a more general application such as a Bulletin Board System,
you should look at the picture on several systems to make sure it looks okay.

says, "My water dish is empty".

The man is astounded!  "You can talk?!?" he exclaims.

"Sure," says the cat.

"Ten years I've had you -- and never a WORD!  Why now?"

"Up to now, everything's been o.k."

      As I was creating the next picture, a thought popped into my head...


                        DEAFNESS IS A STATE OF MIME


So, put your "Dark Side of the Moon" album on Volume Level 10, and enjoy this
next picture.

You may be tempted to  modify the preceding picture  by  adding  those little
"note"  characters  that are available on the  IBM PC.   But  beware!   Those
characters are  below  ASCII code 32!   They can have adverse affects on some
software which use those codes for various  control functions.   For example,
the "single eighth note" character is decimal 13, which is a carriage return!

PINN-ART never  uses characters  below  ASCII code 32.   There are some  nice
characters down there that I'd love to use, but they cause too much trouble.

I like to include a  logo for your  company name.  You can use the following
picture to  grab your client  by the lapels  and make sure  he knows who you
are.

Some things are better left to a computer.


P2-LOGO 


This logo was created for my friend  Ron.  (Remember him?  I mentioned him a
while ago.)   This is a nice box for your company name.   By the way, if you
want a copy of Ron's  NAMER program,  get on  Le Systeme OnLine  and ask the
sysop (nicely, mind you) to give you download capability.

You can see several principles at work, here.  First of all, we see that you
can modify the basic PINNART fonts.  The word  "NAMER"  uses double vertical
bars to stretch out the characters.   Secondly,  you'll note that every line
is nicely  centered   and they're  all the  same length.   This improves the
visual impact.   The border is not too fussy,  which is a good thing.   Mind
you,  it wasn't easy to  create  it!   All those  intersections  can drive a
PINN-ARTist to distraction!





That's all for now!  I hope you enjoyed these pictures.   They represent many
hours of my time,  but it's a lot of fun,  trying to wrestle the PC character
set into making semi-decent artwork.  Try it out!  Then give us a call at:
