      MSGID: 2:280/464.113 5cb25f80       REPLY: 1:3634/12.73 5cb25952       Hallo mark!               ml> there were also ^A codes as well as ANSI codes...              Those survived and I wasn't sure they were in your original as such. I didn't       count them but there are quite a few of them as well as \r's from hell.               ml> i see ANSI graphics posted in one or two of the BBS ads echos        ml> all the time...              Hm. Maybe I should pick one of those up. Any recommendations?               ml> i'll have to try to dig one out...              I'd prefer the St. Patrick's one if available. I now need closure since you       brought it up.               ml> that should not be needed with what i do...              Sounds great. The little I've done with ansi graphics I've made it a point to       follow a similar plan. In my case it was only to colourize messages on a       console.               ml> i don't know at this point...              Understood. Anyhow back when it mattered to me I found rxvt to be the       terminal of choice in GUI-land. If I am recalling correctly it was with the       -rv and -ls switches turned on by default. Same with xterm now that I think       about it.              Het leven is goed,       Maurice              ...
