Re^2: (Golf) LED Sign

To clarify: In one case, you have something which is, to abbreviate, XnXnXnXn versus XnXnXnX, where the former has a newline at the end, and the second does not. It's a minor thing, I know, and mostly cosmetic.

As a result, it doesn't wrap the last line around, leaving something like:

shell% perl srawls
  X XXX XXX XXX 
  X X X   X X X 
  X X X   X X X 
  X XXX XXX X X 
  X   X X   X X 
  X XXX XXX XXX shell%

I like your art deco twist on the "font". Very retro.

Your "optimization" of `(.)(.)(.)` to `(...)` has the effect of making the letters only 3 wide instead of 4, since the duplicator `[0,1,1,2]` isn't working. Moving to a more compact representation would eliminate the need for this altogether.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
