Description:
A tool to convert MS-DOS/ANSI.SYS text files to modern terminals. This tool converts MS-DOS text files using ANSI.SYS escape sequences to a format a modern terminal can display. The output will use a Unicode encoding of characters and only ANSI SGR escape sequences to set basic foreground and background colors, intensity and blinking attribute. The input is expected to use CP-437 or one of the other supported DOS codepages.
