I want to have my Ubuntu [KDE Neon] system display ANSI correctly at the terminal prompt... by just likeããcat ansi.ansãã... once I simply added something quickly in a Ubuntu terminal program and it then had ANSI display correctly, but I can't find it now...ããAlso, I know I can find the cat-ansi package but I was wanting it to display correctly all the time. I believe i changed a font or added some coding to my terminal before; but a google search isn't showing me the info this time round.ãã??? anyone ???ãã |08Paulie|15420ã |15M|08@|15STERM|07i|15NDã|14AmericanPiBBS|04.comãã---ã þ Synchronet þ AmericanPiBBS.comã

Hadn't heard of that one, either.ããI tried it and it seems to work. A couple of things I notice are ãthat it doesn't go full-screen, so the work area is kind of small. ãAlso did not have any luck using the "line draw" function (like in ãTheDraw where you make lines/corners with F-keys).ããI actually use TheDraw quite a bit in a DosBox environment and it ãworks perfectly.ããThanks again.ãããã... I'll be unstoppable when I get started.ã--- MultiMail/Linux v0.52ã þ Synchronet þ Palantir BBS * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FLã

ANSI is a little different than CP437, but this does give me something better than not having anything installed. I use Acid Draw to edit, but this cp437 command lets me at least see an .ANS -mostly- corect. ããThanks kindly.ãã |08Paulie|15420ã |15M|08@|15STERM|07i|15NDã|14AmericanPiBBS|04.comãã---ã þ Synchronet þ AmericanPiBBS.comã
