Nope. The echo the two of you are thinking of was the support echo for
THEDRAW.

From a 1998 Elist:

ASCII_ART
     G-rated ASCII Art Showcase
          On-line "Art Show" for displaying your ASCII Art creations.
          All art must be appropriate for all ages (G-rated) and it
          must be posted with proper artist attribution left intact.

 RW> there was a thedraw echo, but it was specific to that software.

Correct. I used to have a copy of that software, but don't seem to be able
to locate it now. Probably on a CD in my Fidonet history archives. Man,
that goes back to my early days in Fidonet.

I'm still trying to remember the name represented by the initials in the
ASCII files I do have from those days; j g s

I remember her sweet dispostion and I think her first name was Jackie.
