MRO to Anton Shepelev:

I meant the general aesthetics of ANSI-art, and no,
those characters are not part of the ASCII 7-bit en-
coding:

Is my writing *that* bad?

I will try. This being Synchronet, I thought `sync-
draw' would be a bit more popular here...

MR> get a copy of thedraw registered

I never managed to get a properly registered, rathen
than brutally cracked, copy of the latest version of
TheDraw. I have tried some that claimed to be "regis-
tered", but they were either old, or buggy, or
cracked, or all of those. Futhermore, I prefer a Free
program to a proprietary one.

there is a registered version of thedraw out there with additional
files that go with the registered version. it's not 'brutally cracked'. there is also another copy out there where it's an old version hexedited to seem like the last version. and did you just call something involved with bbsing old?
the bbs hobby IS old.

you get what you pay for. enjoy. there's also a lot of other ansi editors
you could use.
