Hi All

I've lost my mind on this one (well, I lost my mind a VERY long time ago, but this is yet another one to add to the pile of lost mind). 

Editing ANSI - tried lots of (windows and dos) editors but none really give me the right result. In that they display OK in the editor, but whack them into Mystic and the colours all screw up. So lets try editing the file in Mysitc ANSI editor - cleans it up a bit, but then the command prompt is all out of whack. I'm old, but back in the old days, I never had this grief. I know its not the software and is very likely PEBCAK - but does everyone have this grief?

I'm no artist, and this is probably the blocker from doing alot more with my BBS - so this is frustrating me. I did reach out on 16.colors for someone to do the work, but got ghosted by one guy. Meh. Lets keep going. 

Any suggestions?

Merry Christmas and Happy New years to everyone from a somber down under.
