Avatar codes
Due to a problem within the RA Avatar converter, ANS files with the
colour sequences of 'Black of Black' are not converted properly.
This results in some screens being garbled, this is most common
with aniamation screens, which often use 'Black on Black' for
erasing parts of the aniamation.
To get round this problem, there are two things you can do.
You can ommit these problem screens and just leave the ANSI ones.
Doing this will force RA to fall back on the 'ANSI' screen because
it couldn't find the 'AVATAR' one, therefore the problem screens
are displayed as there ANSI type.
You may also use an old OPUS utility to generate the screen that
do not work. The OPUS utility doesn't optimize the Avatar screens
at all, and therefore should only be used on the problem screens.
At the moment, there are only two fully compatable AVATAR terminal
emulation packages (that I know of that) will work correctly with
RA, theres are :-
* FrontDoor Terminal Mode, by Joaquim Homrighausen
* QModem, by The Forbin Project, Inc
NOTE: Telix does NOT work
