ASC2ANS

Converts a Synchronet ASCII text file encoded with Ctrl-A codes to 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 ANSI Editors (the opposite function of the binkit utility).

The syntax is:

asc2ans infile.asc outfile.ans [options]
Option Description
-strip strip Ctrl-A codes without 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.
