What most people mean when they say 'ANSI' are the text characters built into most IBM PCs and compatibles. It's not the exact same thing as true ANSI, but it's not too far aff. Think of it like color mousetext for the IBM. I know of no software for the GS that supports ANSI. AGATE 'supposively' supports it. I've tried AGATE, but the text was so illegible that I could barely make out anything. Also, none of the features worked. I followed the instructions to the letter and nothing worked, except dialing. Also, AGATE is for 8-bit Apple II's and uses double hi-res graphics (in black and white) to accomplish this). >---- >ProLine: asong@pro-nbs >Internet: asong@pro-nbs.cts.com >UUCP: crash!pro-nbs!asong >ARPA: crash!pro-nbs!asong@nosc.mil ---------------------------------------- BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm <------------send files here pro-line-- mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com
