Welcome to the new Eclipse.
That is, the newest eclipse.

As this pack did unzip, you perhaps wond-
ered why you found only Lagomorph ansis
and basic files. I will explain hence.
C L I P S E . . . THE HISTORY OF ECLIPSE
part I
Eclipse was officially begun in 1995 by
one Tony Carlson, under pseudonym of Rai.
He, Splatt, Grendel, and Destination
http://ecl.home.ml.org/ Mirage were among the top contributors.
The group was for the most part restricted
This introduction was to these members area code, 616. It was
written 4/20/97 by David popular in this area code, but died three
Gould Lagomorph. months following its conception, in Novem-
ber of that year. Rai promised it would
never come back.
THE HISTORY OF ECLIPSE
part II
Eclipse came back through a joint effort
of Rai and Splatt. Some say that was the
best time in Eclipses history. Countless
talents springboarded through Eclipse at
this time Summer of 1996, and joined
very presigious groups after its second
death later that Fall.
THE HISTORY OF ECLIPSE
part III
By the efforts of myself and of Magnatop,
we revived in December of 1996. Many of
our original members were part of it. It
went well for several more packs until
the leadership began switching hands and
it finally died.
THE FUTURE OF ECLIPSE
I have brought the once-great Eclipse back
by my own will and hope that others shall
follow to make it the great group that we
once were. I ask everyone reading this to
ask of yourself the following questions:
1. Do I do some damned nice ansi?
2. Am I either a groupless, OR
b annoyed with the stuffy
group Im curerntly in?
3. Do I draw, for the most part,
toons?
4. Am I a girl?
If you answered yes to each of questions
numbered one through three, or answered
yes to question four regardless of your
responses to the previous three, you are
eligible for entry in this once-great ansi
group in one of the following positions:
1. ECLIPSE Ansi Artist
2. ECLIPSE Girl
Thats right! Were chronically under-
staffed and were hormonal! APPLY TODAY,
AND MAKE ECLIPSE GREAT ONCE AGAIN!
HOW TO APPLY TO ECLIPSE
We dont have a questionarre for you to
fill out, and I apologize for this. You
need to simply mail me at the following
address:
dgould@raider.grcc.cc.mi.us
Be sure to tell me any information about
yourself I may find relevant, including
political views and ansi experience. Also

cant send binaries through email, give
me another way to get some examples.
