- The best ANSI screen maker utility by consensus of ANSI artists
- I've had contact with is TheDraw (current version is 3.10, by
- TheSoft Programming Services and Ian Davis) which now supports
- animation and still images and much more. One of the things
- that makes ANSI screen creation difficult to start with is
- creating good looking lettering for the ANSI screen (often for
- BBS welcome/intros).
-
- I've taken some time to make a generic set of alphabets that can
- be easily used in an ANSI screen with other graphics and
- information for ease in creating ANSI screens that look sharp.
- These alphabet and numbers are created with integration to
- TheDraw in mind.
-
- How do you use these templates? With TheDraw's multi-screen
- editing, you can load up each of these templates in separate
- pages and still have a page left over for your main screen.
- What you do is use the ALT-B command to block off a letter and
- copy it to an empty part of the screen and compose a word. Then
- you can move the word to your main ANSI screen and begin to
- compose your BBS title, or whatever you need the lettering for.
- If you wish to add shading, select a different color and go
- around the letter and use the ALT-F6 block graphics set. To
- switch colors of the letters is a simple task using the ALT-B to
- switch color attribute.
-
- If you found these ANSI samples useful and/or have any ideas for
- additional fonts, please drop a note to the author. No fee
- may be charged for the distribution of this program and its
- documentation. The contents of this ARC file must be unmodified
- and distributed as a whole.
