"Joe Slater sent along this collection of textfiles, which he explains
this way:

'Hi Jason, I was at the University of Mississippi from 1977-1981, and
then served as a Systems Programmer there from 1981-1983.  We were
using DECsystem-10s, so I suspect most of my text art stemmed from
DECUS.  Only a couple were my creations.  All of the stuff I collected
from that era is on four 6250 bpi magnetic tapes, which is 20-25 years
old now, and most likely I'll never be able to attempt retrieval of
those tapes.  So I was thrilled to see that you had created a web site
dedicated to text art.  Most of what I have (at least printouts) I
found, but there were 15 more I had that I did not see on your site.
So I painstakingly re-created them.'"
