ASCII circuit diagrams

[normanstrong]

I've looked at a few of these, posted in this group, and I'm competely
unable to understand any of it. Is there some sort of program that
makes these circuits? How does one translate them to something
recognizable?

I do mine by hand. I usually try to
minimize the occupied area. For example,
I use 100k or R13 for a resister instead
of trying to draw a box or wavy line.

By the way, I use plain ascii text and ascii
circuits when I'm trying to create an "archival"
document. I figure that there will still be
plain text readers available for a long time.

Use Courier font. Set your e-mail reader to a line-length of 80

characters.

It's very likely that that will solve your problem. If it doesn't, print
out a mangled graphic, scan it to a JPEG (not OCR!!), put it on a.b.s.e.
and tell us here that you've done that.

Look at them in a fixed-pitch font, e.g. Courier. That makes the spaces as

wide as the characters, so that everything lines up.
