Thanks for the tip! :)
There may have been some kind of warning message at one point, and
maybe now that most distros default to UTF-8 consoles, it could be
related. I would imagine there is probably a few things that can be used
as a crutch. However, IMO none of them should be necessary.

Here`s a little gem I found a long time ago (if you haven`t seen
it already), maybe this simple script would work instead of a full
fledged ansi-capable viewer?

Latest golded installed (but not being used at this very second)
here under Archlinux v.today, also without issues except that I would
love to see ditching the cp437 stuff, getting rid of translation tables,
and bringing in the iconv support. Unfortunately, I`m not a good
programmer so all of that goes right in the suggestion box aka trash bin.
Did you switch back to Linux recently? I could have sworn I saw
your old BBS software on OS/2 or DOS not too long ago. Or do you run
multiple instances these days and switch them up on occasion just to confuse
me?
Regards,
Nick
