Hi Everyone,
so i just got a doorgame working.. Tradewars 2002, but its not displaying ANSI graphics properly.

Im using SyncTerm, and when im in the BBS, the graphics/ANSI displays properly but as soon as i go into tradwars, the ANSI graphics look like garbage.. Ive checked, and Font is set to CP437 in Syncterm.

I connect with putty and change encoding to utf8 and it works perfectly.


Syncterm does not seem to have the option for utf8 so what do i do.. i dont like using putty.

thanks,
Michael
