Beware, reader! After reading the following document, you will feel
the Dark Side growing more in you! There is no turn back, if you read
it. Stop here... if you don't want to know how the Dark Side of the
ANSI scene is...
Ripping graphics always have been a "no-no-no" or "don't ask for troubles,
mister" thing... but guess what? no one ever being stopped to do it, cause
it's not possible :) If someone wants to rip some ansis, he can do it,
whatever the artist/sysop writes in the art/board. So, can we do it today?
If you don't know the answer, you are either too young or to lame... in
case you are too young, here are some ways:
.::. Go to some fancy website that hosts ansi packs and download them,
how easy can it be? hahahaha
.::. If you can't find the ansi in a pack, then its time for the "big
guns". Use your preferred telnet program [syncterm, netrunner,
qodem]. All of these programs have a feature which is called
"Capturing". What it does... is that it captures all displayed
text and ansi graphics, that the user sees in the screen in a
file. So its saving, graphics in a file... Guess what... just
edit that file with an ansi editor to get your ANSI-dose...
.::. If you captured or downloaded a font screen (an ansi graphics
containing a font) and you want to use it, you can make a TDF
file from it, by using TDF Studio. With it, you can create a new
TDF file and use it with the classic TheDraw or other programs
supporting TDF fonts.
.::. If you found an old diskmag and want to grab some ansi from that
you can use an old utility that came with TheDraw, which called
TheGrub. When you execute it, it stays on memory and when you
press a key combination, grabs what ever is on the screen to an
ANSI file. There similar tools also.
.::. Pretend to be a nice guy, offer help to a board that has some
cool graphics and when you get access too, rip them all...
.::. After ripping the graphics don't tell anyone, change your nick
name, close your board, cause the ANSI Police gonna chase you
down... noooot!
.::. eehh... no you shouldn't do it. This article is for historical
and education purposees only, use it at your own risk.
You couldn't resist reading it? right? :p
