Hi,

So, on the PC there is Moebius and PabloDraw. What do you guys use to edit ANSI on the Amiga? Are there any useful tools for working with ANSI I should be aware of?

The Amiga ansi drawing programs are sh*t when put up against the PC
versions. The likes of Thedraw, AcidDraw and the new guys you listed make
the Amiga versions look like toys.

But to answer your question, the best one I've found (IMHO) is called "Luminus", but even it has it's good and bad days!

What a shame. Would like to have something decent for AMIGA

Thanks, I will check it out! BTW: Have you tried TextPaint098.lha? Is that usable?

Don't know. Haven't tried it... I have MS-DOS with Thedraw/AcidDraw/Qemu/Dsqview installed on a USB memory stick. Got a
older P4 pc that can boot from USB, so when I do anyting ansi (It's been
a while) I use that... Then just plug the USB stick into me workstation
and copy the files to/from the other machines in the network. That
includes the Amiga's.
