What I'm testing right now, is having both the X and Y axis set by the Sysop in the code. I've got it set for 1,24 right now, and it seems to be doing fine. Let me test it for a day or so, and if there aren't any problems with it, I'll release the update.

I wanted to keep it a variable, as I know there are some systems setting up systems with 16:9 (132x37) systems. They would be able to set them on whichever line they would need it on.

 Zi> It certainly adds a nice touch to the BBS, just like back in the days...

I thought so! :)

 Zi> Is there some place to download even more prompts?
 Zi> (I selected a few of the bundled ones that I thought looked best.)

I'm still making some. :) I don't know if anyone else has tried making them yet or not. I'll include any new ones with the updated release.

If you'd like to try to make some, it's actually kinda fun! I would suggest using a good ANSI editor, such as Moebius. It allows you to save the file without the sauce information. The only thing, once you save the ANSI file, you have to open it in a text editor and remove the escape sequence before the 'speed' on the first line.
