You can reach me through fidonet on [2:281/506] or use any of the ANSI*NET
echomail areas.
Top_draw was designed to create ansi / avatar screens for bbs systems.
It's not an all-round ansi creation program. It's main purpose is to
design and create ansi and avatar screens that are usefull on a bbs
system. This means as small as possible, and without a lot of hassle.
That's why I have NO plans to implement ansi and/or avatar animation....
I needed this prg myself, because an other drawing prg I used 'till now
could not create avatar screens. Avatar screens are the new standard in
the bbs world these days (at least that's my opinion...) because of their
efficient methode to transfer colors and compressed characters through the
phone lines... In most cases avatar screens are smaller than ascii screens!
So I started to design Top_draw....
At the moment Top_draw is not at all finished, I'm still adding functions.
But I was so pleased with the result of a few evenings work that I could
not resist to place it on my bbs for all my fellow colleague sysops.
The compression routines used in the ansi and avatar saving procedure seem
to work, with most ansi screens I tested Top_draw was able to create smaller
ansi/avatar files then that other ansi editor, and any ansi->avatar converter
I tried... But if you find a ansi picture that cannot correctly convert to
avatar, let me know!
Have fun,
