I wonder if it was this. (are there others?)

Actually the effect only works well when looked at wall-eyed though you could
just as easily make cross-eyed versions.

Is there a program to create these things, or does one simply
edit cleverly?

That particular one was the product of a boring afternoon gone to distraction.
Done by hand.  I had just read Jack Ferwerda's (spelling?) chapter on stereo
slide mounting and decided to do a little visual play on the "stereo window"
terminology used so often in stereo slide mounting.

It's also possible to do cross-eyed or wide-eyed 3d drawings on P.C. drawing
programs, once you get the hang of it.

Gee, it works fine for me. Cross eyed, the D's are in front and the view
is from above, and wide eyed, the dots are in front and the view is from
below. This particular image does seem more difficult than simple stereo
pairs, however.

Well I find it a lot easier to view from a distance of about 40cm from the
screen  (thats with a 12" 80column terminal, green text on black).
You need to get adjacent '3's to coincide.  Try this and see if it helps;
Place you finger on the screen, somewhere in the .sig
Slowly move your finger towards your eyes, watching your finger
not the screen.  About 1/3 of the way toward your eyes, the .sig
should leap into perspective behind your finger.  Good luck!

	I was looking at this the other day, thinking the same thing.  A co-
worker then walked by, did a double take at my screen and said, "Wow!  It 
looks 3D!"  Go figure...

I have no trouble viewing this, even without sticking my nose onto
the screen.  You just need to cross your eyes slightly.  Yes, and
it looks 3D too!
