I do think working with only the directions that clearly transfer into ANSI does sound like the reasonable choice.

I imagine you meant 20x24, but, yeah, that seems plausible.

Though there _is_ always the possibility of doing the 132 column format, that's moderately well-supported, these days. Not sure if the tradeoff of more ANSI space would be worth the decrease in amount of BBSs that could support the software.

 Mi> What do you guys think?

I'm glad you're working on it, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

(And I imagine I'm far from the first response to this, so my apologies for whatever repetitive stuff I just wrote.)
