Another thought.  Lucida Console may not render ANSI stuff well.  Use
HyperFont instead.  It's made specifically for BBS type stuff and renders
ANSI graphics (and text) very well.  I have a HyperFont package available
for download (HYPRFONT.EXE) or if you like I can send it to you via e-mail.
 If you want to download it, do it either from the BBS
(bbs.sursum-corda.com) or from the ftp server (ftp.sursum-corda.com)
(directory /public/fonts). Use binary transfer.

Best regards,
Marc
