Hi there!
Just found something interesting..
https://hackaday.com/2013/08/20/retrotechtacu … -and-ascii-art/

The comment section is most interesting, IMHO.
- What's ANSI Music ? Is is similar to PLAY command in BASICA ?

Also, in case you wonder.. ANSI art was technically possible over the air waves, too.
See NETWORKING ANSI COLOR GRAPHICS (PDF)...
(That's about Packet-Radio aka AX.25 aka HDLC
as used on CB radio in some EU countries and on amateur radio worldwide.)

Anyway, please feel free to comment below.

Best regards,
Jo22

PS: What was your favourite ANSI Terminal program, btw ?
- I think I've fondly used the terminal of PC Tools 7, for example.

Thanks a lot for the link, it looks very interesting! 😎
It also seems to support many, many things (have to check the readme for details)!

(I also remember Banacom and Telemate, though I don't know if they supported ANSI..)
