ascii color codes

Ratty,

	There is no such thing as an ASCII color code.  You could be referring
to BBS colors codes, MIRC color codes, or ANSI X3.64 / VT-100 color codes.
Specify where you are seeing this color and we may be of assistance.  Or you can
search the web now that you have the proper keywords )

There is no such thing as an "ascii color code". Read the FAQ for more
info about ascii art:

I don't like to jump to conclusions, but I'll assume when you say "online game"
you mean online BBS game.  In which case you'd want VT-100 / ANSI X3.64 specs,
which aren't public domain, but are available at...

Document: ANSI X3.64-1979 [Withdrawn]
ATTN: Standards Sales Department
American National Standards Institute
1430 Broadway
New York, NY 10018
212/354-3300
(Last quoted at $75.00 in photocopy form)


Document: EK-VT100-UG-003 (DEC VT-100)
ATTN: Accessories and Supplies Group
Digital Equipment Corporation
POB CS-2008
Nashua, NH 03061
(Last quoted at $13.00, in 1992 ;)

Call ANSI first and ask for the affirmed version of X3.64, although I'm not sure
they actually changed anything... or ask someone at their website, www.ansi.org.

Finding documentation on VT100 is extremeley difficult, speaking from
experience...  But you can get a pretty good idea about how "ANSI-BBS" emulation
works if you download product.zip and read up.  It has tutorials on ANSI screen
codes, and even "ANSI music" and "ANSI bombs", remember those?  Okay probably
not.  Anyways, the file is at
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/artpacks/mags/1992/product.zip -- Good luck!
