Hey all,

If you are looking for a simple way to show ansi art, say as part of a
logon sequence, I've written a small program to assist. It runs as a
native door program when using Talisman (or for any BBS that can run a
door, really).

It's called artVu. It's simple:

- loads a random ansi file from a directory
- you can set display speed, which works well for long pieces of art
- it works in 80 col and 132 col modes (passed from command line)
- you can scroll through the art manually
- you can view sauce info

Talisman doesn't have an internal art viewer like Mystic does, so hoping
this can fill a need.

If anyone would be willing to test and provide feedback, that'd be great!

It's written in Go, and it's best to build from source (instructions are
in the repo), but there is also a /release folder with some binaries for
Linux and Rpi. I'll add Windows later today.

However, I've only tested on Linux 64 so far... :)
