By the late 90's I was well into the Internet, and had pretty much left BBSing behind. There weren't many of the local old-school BBSs left by that time, anyway. It's really too bad because they were a great hobby from what I understand. But older tech makes way for newer.

Yeah, but they've been replaced by GIF and JPG, and most people have left it far behind. Unfortunately just like many of the games here. It's really too bad, because so much of the old-school technology could give a lesson to the newer stuff, and show the youngies what it took to get from the dark ages to now in technology. These days kids come in knowing all about how to browse the Internet and to use Word effectively. But they never get a good feel for how a computer works in the background, unlike the older days. Sad really.
Any of your ANSI utils in use today? TheDraw was my staple, and I was ok with it, but nothing real special. I opened TheDraw for the first time in many years just a couple of months ago, and couldn't remember much. I did manage to get the Ship/Castle animation to work, though! Hehe ...
