REQ: Color Ascii Art Picture

My Mud runs on a server running slackware 4.0

Muds work by sending text only for those that do not know.

The file that displays right now is entitled mudtitle.ans

I know that color can be put into this file I have seen it on other
muds.
I have a file with color but its not the name of my mud.

That is what i currently looks like
it appears in four files
mudtitle
mudtitle.ans
mudtitle.asc
mudtitle.rip

even if it could just show up in white or something other than terminal
green.

I know the codes start with a special character that you get when you
press esc or something like that.
but I can not ge that code to appear in notepad or wordad and thats all
i know how to use.

If someone would like the files I could send them as well.

Thanks 
Voltar

PS Like I said if anyone has a better picture that depicts adventure in
a fantasy world feel free to submit it or suggest it.

Thanks Again
