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 ANS2ASC 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.
