No it's not. ANSI is a completely different standard that just happens to share
some of the same codes as ASCII (the first 128, but not always).

They're called ANSI. Not ASCII.

As stated, ANSI is a different standard. You are an ANSI group that has nothing
whatsoever to do with ASCII.

I draw your attention to the AAA FAQ, section 13...

*   ANSI,`extended ASCII' or `high ASCII', and non-Western font art.
        Many computer systems have an extended character set of 256 or
        more characters, based on the ANSI, Unicode or BIG5 character
        sets and having the first 128 characters possibly identical to
        ASCII. These characters should not be sent to news:alt.ascii-art
        because many computer system types do not display them properly,
        even those that do, do not display them in a standard way, for
        example, the Windows ANSI character set is different to the
        Macintosh ANSI character set. Capture and send a GIF of it to
        news:alt.binaries.pictures.ascii or put it on a Web page
        instead, and post a reference to it to news:alt.ascii-art.
        Alternatively, post it to news:rec.arts.ascii (see below).

Whilst you havent actually posted ANSI, it still has nothing to do with this
group. Do a search on google groups for "[info] alt.ascii-art FAQ" to read the
full FAQ.
