ANSi was the way to go if you knew how to fuck with it nicely.. who remembers thedraw? 
I used to run a bbs back in the day.. used this trustly lil software called T.A.G. .. made it look almost like a Vision/2 bbs.... all through modding the strings...

yep, spent days in TheDraw -- as a kid i got a lot of encouragement from people that liked my ANSI's -- which was my main motivated to get into the art field...
I remember TAG too -- if I remember right it was similar to Telegard, WWIV LOL... Only thing I modded was Telegard... I remember it was a bitch to get the Pascal source to compile. After that I started coding a BBS from scratch in Pascal -- I remember the first time I got COM1 to work using my own code I was hell excited hehe... I was using some of my own text window drawing libraries -- then I coded an ansi algorithm to read the screen buffer and transmit that over the modem using only the changes on the screen using X, Y codes -- instead of always scrolling down like most BBSs... Never finished that project -- I was a senior in highschool at that point so I was interested in other things... then the internet came out -- some of the BBS guys got into ISP...
I really regret those years where I wasn't online much -- around '94-'96
A lot of shit happened in that short time...
