<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is probably a dev question but I’ll ask here anyway in case one is watching.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I use tin to view messages on the bulletin board (BBS) via a usenet interface.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A lot of groups have ANSI art or colors using ANSI and wondered if anyone would be able to add translation from ANSI to the graphic or color.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example, if you connect to endofthelinebbs.com and go to DN.DN-ADDS then look at any message with ANSI in the subject, for example [ANSI] Shadowscope<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You’ll see a string of ANSI characters. These are escape codes, of course.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">^[[0m^[[1;1H^[[1C^[[35m<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">ŒŒŒŒŒŒŒŒ</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">^[[0m = All attributes off<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">^[[1;1H = Move the cursor to the specified position (This would be relative to the headers)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">^[[1C = Move the cursor forward specified number of columns without changing the line<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">^[[35m = Change the foreground color to magenta.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Followed by whatever graphics are to be displayed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I could “possibly” do the work myself, but I’m not a C coder, I’m more of a perl tinkerer. If someone showed me what I need to do and where then I can probably do the work. If someone wants to have a crack, a good ANSI reference is at
