I had some on my web site about 5 years ago, not mine, but by good artists. Some of the ANSI can be converted to ASCII, and some can't. : Take a screenshot of them and make a jpg png or gif. I did that with a couple, "NeoPaint" comes with a program that does that. : or i could post the .ans files and you could read them with aciddraw or : pablodraw. : http://pablodraw.sourceforge.net/ Good idea, and there are a couple of good viewing programs that also play ANSI music (and display ANSI and ASCII pics, like "SMILE" by Michael Arnett who did a lot of great ANSI art. I wrote a DOS user interface that is the best for viewing 23 line screens in ANSI or ASCII in DOS, but I don't distribute it. Regards, Joe Fischer -- 3
