Fellow User: This is the TaS Artpack #1 (obviously.) The Tragic ANSi Spinners group was started by myself, MICRO^[[, in March of 1993. With the great support of Nocturnal Emissions, TaS has had quite a few welcomes posted in [713]. TaS has also turned some plain-jane shops into unique boards with menus, stats screens, headers, infoforms, and the like. If you HAVE heard of TaS, you may have wondered why you have only seen my handle on the work. Well,... that's because TaS is and has alwayZ been just me. Unless I am sucked up into another group, I hope to continue the "tragic" look with some new artists and programmers (see the application generator in this pack.) ANYone can copy a cartoon!! Notice the two VGA ads included in the pack. NOCEM1.EXE was hacked using Fred Nietzch's original code. It seemed to be the only one noone was messing with because of the graphic "waving" in the middle. I simply created a PCX and converted it using a homemade converter to numeric byte format. I also changed the scrolling color logic. (Big deal, eh?) NOCEM3.EXE is a bit too large. :) I used THG's Intro Maker 3.0 on that one. The skull was hand-drawn in DPIIe. I hope to have some originals (which are contained in SMALL, TIGHT executables) made soon. NOTE: NOCEM3.EXE will not be included in this pack due to its size. If you are interested, please feel free to log onto NocEm. The GIF will be included, though. There was a third one. It was STEALTH's VGA/MOUSE application generator. It was pretty cool, but used multiple PCX files and was MUCH too large. A copy used to be on The Body Electric in [216], but... If you like what you see and are interested in having some TaS work done for your shop, please contact me on NocEm. The number is all over the inclosed art. If you absolutly hate what you see here, please forgive us for your wasted download time, but don't refuse to grab the next pack. TaS has improved 1000-fold in 3 months and plans to do the same for the duration of its lifetime. Thanx... MICRO^[[{TaS/MRHA} "Fast quality comes only from those who love what they do!"
