       I had some on my web site about 5 years ago,
not mine, but by good artists.    Some of the ANSI
can be converted to ASCII, and some can't.

: Take a screenshot of them and make a jpg png or gif.

       I did that with a couple, "NeoPaint" comes with
a program that does that.

: or i could post the .ans files and you could read them with aciddraw or
: pablodraw.
: http://pablodraw.sourceforge.net/

       Good idea, and there are a couple of good
viewing programs that also play ANSI music (and
display ANSI and ASCII pics, like "SMILE" by
Michael Arnett who did a lot of great ANSI art.

       I wrote a DOS user interface that is the
best for viewing 23 line screens in ANSI or ASCII
in DOS, but I don't distribute it.
