     Do you mean color ANSI with all of the characters you can't use here and
high ASCII (which is just black and white ANSI), or do you mean straight ASCII
like you see in this newsgroup (below), they are two different things.

                     .''.
                     ;   '..
                    ;       '..    "Yo quero Taco Bell."
                     ;         ''.
                      '.          '.
                       '.           '.                       ..''''''''.
                        '.        ..'''''..              ..''        .'
                         '.    .''         '''..     ..''          .'
                           '..'         .' ;;   '...'             .'
                             ;'   ''. .'  ; ;      ''.         ..'
                             '. .''. '   ; ;          '.    ..'
                              ';.oo.'   ;  ; .'''.     ; .^'
                               '.'' .' ;  '.; (o).'    ''
                                 ; '..v    '.''''    .';
LES. T E.  R A .M' `C. .Y'     .' .'  /'.          .'   ;
D `D I NN. N K.K'   `Y.Y'      ;  ; o( o ;      .''     ;
D  D I N`N.N KK'     `Y'     .' '..'....'  ...''       .'
D .D I N `NN K`K.     Y     ;    ;'.....;;'.'        ..'
DDD' I N  `N K `K.    Y     '.    '..  ...'         ;
                              '.     '' '.        .'
                              .'  ;'.    ;.    ..'
                             .'  .'  ''''  ; ;'
                             '..'         .' ;
                                           ''

     In WIN95, the way I do it (see my page, address below) is I view the ANSI
with a ANSI viewer, but I make the viewer in a windowed state instead of full
screen (so the viewer screen is font size 4x6). Then I press the PRINT SCREEN
key and paste into a new picture in a paint program and save it as a GIF or JPG
and put that on the page. That's the best way I've found for ANSI. If it is a
long ANSI you'll have to do this with every section of the picture and then
paste all of the parts together.
     That's the only way I know of to make an ANSI viewable on a web page,
unless you just link to the ANS file and let people select VIEW from the IE
download screen, but then they would have to have a viewer already set up to
view registered ANSI file extensions. I don't know about Netscape.

     For ASCII, just paste the pictures onto your page and then make it
preformatted text.

     I hope this helped.
