In XP, followed all instructions to the letter, leaving me with a DOS session no more capable of displaying "ANSI art" utilising the display capabilities of ansi.sys than before... also, the screen would no longer scroll once hitting 25 lines -- some blind "cls"ing established that program output and subsequent command prompts would continue unabated outside of visible interface space.

Close, but no banana. I suppose this is as good a time as any to present my endorsement for the PabloDraw ANSI art utility at hand in its production back in 1998... ("Cthulu" in the feature requests in update.lst 8)

(Don't just take my word for it! 9 out of 10 ANSI artists who were still around to try it following the collapse of dialup BBS culture will agree -- PabloDraw was the Rolls-Royce of textmode-art manipulation tools! And, alas, no one will ever care again.)

Somehow, I get the feeling that someone is going to bring me to task for complying with this request... if only I'd found a way to bring it back around to some tangential interactive-fiction connection. (One lending its appearance similar legitimacy in the other two newsgroups it seems to want to automatically crosspost to? A stiff proposition indeed.)
