 ====== ASC2ANS ======
-FIXME
+Converts a Synchronet ASCII text file encoded with [[custom:Ctrl-A codes]] to [[ref:ANSI]] terminal escape sequences.
+This utility allows you to convert files that use Ctrl-A codes (attributes) into ANSI files suitable for viewing or editing with a [[resource:ANSI Editors]] (the opposite function of the [[ANS2ASC]] utility).
+The syntax is:
+  asc2ans infile.asc outfile.ans [options]
+^ Option ^ Description ^
+| -strip | strip Ctrl-A codes without [[ref:ANSI]] equivalent, e.g. pause, delay |
+The suffix/extension for the input filename will most likely be ''.asc'' or ''.msg'' and the output file should have a ''.ans'' extension.
