• Strange ANSI Issue

    Hello,

    After a crash awhile back, I'm noticing that certain ANSI files show up as nothing but colored hashtags. The Synchronet Logo being one of them and then my Avatars. Not sure what is happening....


    ... BBS?? Yeah, I do BBS...but, I can control it.

    It sounds like your user account is configured for US-ASCII output (not CP-437).
