"old-school" ANSI-viewer plugin request

[versalzen]

hi all,

i'm looking for a lister plugin for *.ans files
(some of you will remember that format from old mailboxing times or from the ice-packs from the ice.org website)

the files look like that:

Code: Select all

i got the MS-DOS iceview.exe which still works under XP, but it could be a bit more comfortable :=)

maybe there's a winprogram or a plugin already?

thnx, mario

That is ascii-art that can be display by tc's internal lister
also just by pressing S

What you have is ascii with dos color-codes from old bbs-times
so I doubt there is any windows-viewer

hi,
yes, ascii-art with color-codes. i thought they're called "ansi-art". anyway :)

i now found an ancient program called "wansi.exe" which displays those ansi-files under windows.
the about box says:
ANSI File Viewer

unfortunately my web-research for a source-code or the programmes wasnt successful, but the program showes the DOS colors (likeley) under windowsXP quite ok, so if somebody want to take a look at the program, maybe there is a better/newer/anywhat software out in the net.

(wansi.exe, windows)
(iceview.exe, dos)
(an ascii-art zip)

und damit meine frage nicht unbeantwortet bleibt, beantworte ich sie nun, nach etwas abwarten, selber:
