      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.
