þ Ansi Collection - Series Three þ

"What are these screens?"

     These screens are screens that I have collected throughout my
     BBSing. Some come from WWIVNet; Some come from InterLink; Some come
     from RelayNet; Some come from WWIVLink and even Some come from
     wherever.

"Who did these screens?"

     Good question. These screens appeared on a public network. I am not 
     taking credit for creating them, but I will take credit for 
     assembling them into a collective package. The authors names have 
     *not* been removed from screens if they were there in the first 
     place.

"What should I do?"

     Look at the screens, admire the screens, ENJOY the screens. This is 
     a new art form, one which we will be seeing a lot of. If you get a 
     chance, I would suggest making time, drop a note to your favorite 
     ansi artist and let her/him know that you appreciate their work. 
     ANSI art is an ungrateful job, but the results are spectacular.

"Some of the screens move..."

     Isn't that great! Some very talented people have really spent some 
     time making the ANSI cartoons you view. Being a vet of ANSI 
     animation, I can sure tell you that it is TOUGH work.

"Can I modify the screens?"

     Tough call. I know some people copyright their screens by inserting 
     a little "(C)" on it. Is this "true" copyrighting? I would say yes, 
     but then again, I don't feel like having any legal action taken 
     against me for using an ANSI screen. In my opinion, I would say 
     leave the ones that say "(C)" alone, but make every effort to 
     contact the artist and ask for permission.

"Why are you doing this?"

     I am crazy. Nah, just wanted to make sure that the RelayNet people 
     have a chance to see InterLink's work, and that InterLink has a 
     chance to see RelayNet's work. Oh, also to let the whole world see 
     the WWIVNet's and WWIVLink's work.

"How are they classified?"

     The Interlink screens start off as IN; the RelayNet screens start
     off as RY; the WWIVNet start off as WW; and WWIVLink screens start
     of as LN.

"Is that all?"

     Yes.

                            þ Compensation þ

If you feel the need to compensate someone for these screens, use the 
following as a guideline:

     1) Drop your favorite ANSI artist a note thanking them.
     2) Call Channel 1 BBS in Boston, MA. The best BBS in the country in 
        my opinion. (617) 354-8873. They are PC Pursuitable.
     3) Thank your local sysops. Sysops do a lot to make your life
        easier. As a former sysop, I can remember knowing that it was
        worth it when someone said, "Thanks!"
     5) ...if you still feel like compensating someone, go to sleep. 
        People just don't sleep enough.
