Do that! BBS's are the places to go if you cannot live without ANSI. I don't like ANSI because it looks so garish and ill-defined. I've done one or two ANSI -> ASCII conversions using my wordprocessor and its find/replace function but it is too time consuming and tedious in the end result to justify doing it: 00000 0000 n########n s 000000||000000 O ## ^ ^ ## s 00000000||000000 ## -- -- ## ====#=== ####0##0# 000000000|00000000 O ## ) () ( ## ,, #] ##0#0 #### # 00000000||0000000 O## O ##==" #] ##0# * * #00# # 00000000|0000000 [##-------##nnn###] #00 O ### ""mm#0000000||00000 * [##### ###"""" 000#0 #00 ## 00000||0000 *** [## |##-------####n ##000##00### ## 0000|000 ...

I was wondering if there were any ANSi newsgroups. I love ascii a lot, but would also like to expand my digital artistry :P into ANSi and maybe RIP. If you could help, i'd greatly appreciate it. -NeuRaL <Signature Art Coming Soon>

There are absolutely no ANSI newsgroups, unfortunately. Just ASCII. Of the ANSI newsgroups that have ANSI in the title, there aren't any that I can read in English (something Asian), or there is no message activity at all. It makes me want to look-up some BBSs around here for an ANSI fix. . http://members.aol.com/lester5374/index.htm - Ansi home page FTP://members.aol.com/lester5374/ansi - To download the ANSI format

The Ascii-fied version of Mepha's controversial "Wizard" still did not look very clear because of the choices of colours but it looked better in a single colour (below) My own Caterpillar ANSI -> ASCII was still not great although I selected each Ascii character manually to get the clearest effect I could. ;llo.'+ Sll;; ;llS8SSl;Sl ; lSlll;; ;;ll ;SllSS ; ,Sll;; ;; ;;l/',o 'Sl S.
