    I beg everyone's pardon for this clumsy intrusion intoãunknown territory, but this is all I can do to contactãthe developers and experienced users of `syncdraw' viaãNNTP. Its ALT+F1..F10 palettes do not seem to containãsuch pseudographical characters as ## 182 and 199 inãterms of CP 437, which prevents junctions between ver-ãtical double-width and horisontal single-width lines.ãAre they absent by design?ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ My Brand-New BBS (All the cool SysOps run STOCK!)ã

You can reach teh SyncDraw maintainer, Deuce, in #synchronet at irc.synchro.netããThe MysticDraw author recently posted on one of the message networks (fsxNet? FidoNet?) about resuming or restarting that project, so you may be able to find and ask the original author directly.ã-- ã digital man (rob)ããBreaking Bad quote #51:ãI did it for me. I liked it.

Please, take a closer lookãat the characters in `syncdraw' and in the terminal win-ãdow, for they are different. The ones in the terminalãare those that I seek, and do not find, in the ANSI edi-ãtor.
