|      HTML is garbage, the best way to put either ANSI
|or ASCII on the www is to capture the screen with
|NEOGRAB which comes with Neopaint, and you can 
|download a trial copy from their website.
|      NEOGRAB captures any text 80 x 25 screen with
|the same colors as a PCX file.   This PCX can be
|changed to GIF in Neopaint or other editor.
|      The GIF files are very small because without
|the many small color changes, there are only a few,
|relative to photographic images.
|      I am not doing any support for a few months,
|but examples of the ANSI GIF images can be linked
|from invisible-tech.com and I am sorry I don't
|have any ASCII examples to offer.
|
|     Using bitmap with the various fonts for something
|as simple and pure as ASCII or ANSI is not workable
|with HTML, which restricts even the most basic ANSI.
|     Next year I want to work on screens larger than
|25 lines converted to GIF.   Neograb does change the
|aspect ratio slightly because it converts to 640 x 350
|when it makes the PCX file.
