Yep,  the  1oo%  Anscii wanks are back!  This time its the collected works from
Devil,  Miracle  and  Neurodancer  to bring back some Anscii activity...  don't
think we are just dead or left scene - no way!  Amiga til we die!


nEWS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, you read right, Miracle joined the 1oo% posse, as well as Devil, both from
Germany.   Besides  that  we  have  new  dist  sites  in  the  UK, Portugal and
Australia!  Thanks to you fellow sysops who do this work!

Why  is  this thing called "The Answer" anyway?  Well...  first, its the answer
to quite a few requests we received.  Second, its an answer to all of those who
only  do plain .txt ascii stuff - no disrespect (on the contrary), but you miss
a  world  of  colors  out  there!  And third, The Infinity Project did a fokken
great  ambient tune by the same title (now we have that relation to music as in
most of the previous 1oo% anscii art collections, hehe!).

We  chose this rather weird method of packing the archive into an archive, with
those  intelligent  bbs add strippers it became necessary to protect the Anscii
stuff  from  being  stripped  by an "intelligent" ESC-code detecting routine or
whatever.   We've  split  the stuff into directories for the different artists,
thats  Devil  (DVL),  Miracle  (MRC)  and  Neurodancer  (ND).   You  will  find
subdirectories  for the ISO (Amiga/8 colors) and IBM (GFX/16 colors) stuff.  In
addition,  Miracle  made  some  nice  custom  Amiga bitmap fonts which are also
included.

Thanks  to all of you who make us feel honoured due to your countless requests,
if  there's  something  you  requested and can't find in this pack, be patient.
Some  words  about  requests however:  its very nice to get this many requests,
but  there  is  a  certain  point  where  we  simply don't want to do a special
request,  because  we  did  stuff  the  like  time  and  time again.  This goes
especially for all those "Upload" and "Download" or whatever stuff, we could do
*tons*  of  those  logos if we would respect all those requests.  Sorry, but we
won't  do  that.  Its boring to do stuff like this again and again.  We are not
taking any money or other for the stuff we create, we simply do Anscii for fun,
not profit.

A  word  to  those  who  came up with massive requests of 15 or more logos:  We
don't know what you do in your spare time, but we certainly do NOT sit in front
of  that  darn  editors  and  do Anscii stuff all the time, so please, don't be
angry  if  we refuse to do all that stuff you requested.  Its a matter of time,
and  a matter of fun, and we have too less of both, so first comes the fun, and
then we might spend some time on your requests!

Besides  that, its of course a matter of quality.  You see we all are always in
a state of constant change and learning.  If there's one or two logos we really
WANT  to do because its something new, something special, whatever, chances are
much higher that it will be done with much more effort.

Motivation,  you  know  the game?  If you have a stockpile of requests from one
person,  you  work  on  the  first logo and always have in mind whats coming up
next, and that definitely decreases both inspiration and motivation.  The major
principle  is  that WE want to content with that what we do, and if we are, its
most certain that you will be, too!

Much  too bored to write down any of those "respects & greets" list and knowing
of  the  high  chances  that we forget those who really deserve to be mentioned
there,  we  leave  any detailed list out.  To all of you, you know who you are,
feel greeted!
