I wrote a function called ParseANSI() for my VADV-PHP web frontend. It converts
ANSI to HTML. The only thing that I could not get to work right is the extended
ASCII characters. I tried various encoding and fonts but never could get it to
look right in a browser. Other than that, everything is displayed correctly.

If you want to mess with the function, you can download VADV-PHP at
www.vadvphp.com, and the function is in the va-functions.inc.php file. Just
read the ANSI file into a variable and pass it to the function. It returns the
HTML output. If you figure out how to display the ext. ASCII characters in a
browser (and in a fixed width font), then please let me know.
