Yes, I've used some of the off-brand tools around the BBS community... on
windows, you could use ACiDView 6.0 for windows; i like pablodraw- it is the
moebius of windows... one extra tip, for any *nix box, your ubuntu, the
following command works to display ANSI in the terminal - and anywhere if
you're logged into that terminal/ssh/wherever:
iconv -f cp437 -t uft8 filename.ans

Thanks for your setup... :P
