Thank you, yes the BBS does seem to detect it, as it displays if I move the file to a different location. What ended up working was manually making a new file with nano in /text/menu/logon.ans and then importing the .ans file and saving. LOL must be maybe a permision issue as the BBS is on Linux and I created the file on Windows in a DOSBox with THEDRAW.
Seems to be working now that I know the formula. Glad you brought up the copy to .asc thing. Can I just rename the file to .asc and it will work for those who dont have ansi terminals?
