I have been thinking about adding the ability to import and export text 
files using the CTRL+A codes to Cobalt (my own ANSI art program). However, 
I am not even sure where to begin.

1) What is the file format called?
2) Is it just exclusive to Synchronet?
3) Is there a specs document available?
4) If possible, where can I find a viewer?
5) Would this feature be something a SysOp would be interested in?

The reason why this came up is because I tried to set up my own BBS using 
Synchronet, but when I was poking around the files to see if I can start 
customizing it, I noticed that the files for some of the screens where 
using the CTRL+A codes. The issue is that PabloDraw doesn't support it, 
so I wouldn't know if Cobalt would export it correctly or not.

Thoughts?
