The images        MK> are saved as .png at https://shsbbs.net/image1.png and        MK> https://shsbbs.net/image2.png . Any ideas?              Ohhh, thats kinda a rough one... I'm hearing that the artist created ANSI in       THEIR editor - do you know what editor that was? And/or, do you have any other       ANSI/utf-8 files from the process?               I believe I might be able to convert anything that opens in Pablo/Moebius...       it prolly just has linespacing set wrong, or something like that.              If only PNGs, it'll be tough - but if you have any file that is saved and       openable in an ANSI editor we can get it ironed out I'm sure.              Also, what is insolvo???                            |07p|15AULIE|1142|07o       |08.........              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A48 (Linux/64)        * Origin: 2o fOr beeRS bbS>>20ForBeers.com:1337 (1:105/420)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 105/7 10 11 44 81 85 420 500 106/201 123/131       SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/7715 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 200 206 275       SEEN-BY: 229/307 317 400 426 428 470 550 664 700 266/512 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 291/111 292/854 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 105/420 81 229/426           |
