Hi y'all, i was wondering if anyone knew how to set up the default bash shell in Ubuntu, to be able to see ANSI art / menus for when you use syncterm at
the command line, or if your using simple telnet?
i was just curios if anyone had been successful at it?

Thanks

telnet bbs | iconv -f cp437

no downloads, and a handful of characters might not work if the default unicode font doesn't have them.. but i'm actually doing that right now on my cell phone to post this :)

Have a look at "cp437":
https://github.com/keaston/cp437

This converts the output of the following command to codepage 437.

I'm using this in OpenXP to view messages that contain ANSI graphics and
it works with most ANSI messages.

How do you implement it? Do you use the Macros feature? Or..
the Config/Keys../

I'm using it as an entry in the "Zusatz-Men�" ("Tools" in English, I
guess).
The entry has this commandline:

clear;cp437 cat $FILE; read i

This first clears the screen, then shows the message and waits for a press
of the "Enter" key.

Weird, this command makes my Linux system hang - the terminal emulator anyway. And I use iconv often... hmmmmm.
