- ANSI-RIP will read a Source file, remove any ANSI codes it finds, and write
- the result out to a TARGET file.
-
-
- USE: I wrote this program to allow me to print capture files that I had
- gotten from BBS's with the "color" option on. As you probably know, the BBS
- software changes your screen colors with ANSI codes that get captured along
- with the text... This can be troubling if you're sending the output to a
- printer...
-
- This program is written in BASIC, and must be run through the BASIC or
- BASICA interpreter (call up BASICA from your DOS disk, enter LOAD "ANSI-RIP",
- and type RUN. When the program finishes, type SYSTEM to get back to DOS).
-
- The program will prompt you for a SOURCE file: This is the name of the file
- that you want to convert. It will then ask your for a TARGET: This can be
- either another file, or a device (such as LPT1:, your printer). The program
- will then start the conversion, and keep you informed as to how the
- conversion is progressing...
-
- I didn't compile this program, because it's pretty simple, and I didn't want
- to make this a 30k ARC. If you find that this program is too slow for your
- needs, send me $10.00 to cover Postage, Handling and Pizza expenses, and I'll
- send to a compiled version.
