I remember in the good old BBS-days, when GOOD ascii art was around. Now it's merely black and white tags or something that has been converted from a gif image, and signed by the "creator" as true ascii art. I'm wondering, does there exist any viewers for Windows that support ANSI viewing, like in the good-ol' DOS days?
