I don't see why this article needs cleanup; it seems perfectly clear to me. Nor is it really a stub. Kundor 01:35, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)

The tags were added before I made some changes. Since you agree it's been expanded well, I'll go ahead and remove them. Derrick Coetzee 02:31, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
In that case, good work. ;-) Kundor 21:33, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] possible move

i'm considering moving this article to PC text mode art and generalising it since the affects can be (and often were) achived by methods other than ansi.sys (such as loading data direct to screen memory). What do others think? Plugwash 23:28, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

You would then include ASCII Art, Amiga Art, etc? Lordscarlet 19:09, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Well i meant PC as in its modern meaning of IBM compatible. and yes by definition ascii art would be included Plugwash 21:03, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Mysteriously, no new versions of TheDraw emerged after version 4.63 in 1993, but in later years a number of other ANSI editors appeared, some of which are still maintained today. Does this sentence add anything to the article? Bipedalpedia 23:50, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps not the mysteriously bit, but it does add something to the article; implying The Draw was the de facto standard, but once it disappeared, others sprung up. --75.80.181.183 07:06, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SPAM or NOT SPAM?

I am new to Wikipedia, so...

I have tried to add to "ANSI Art" a few times as "kayakdiver", and my submission keeps getting deleted. The program I am offering a link to is FREE, as is a neat little demo program I also wrote! I think it is being seen as spam by the Bots. I even saw a message that says my web site, www.KayakDiving.net, which hosts some of my image files, is flagged as being disallowed.

The "TheDraw" program featured in the article clearly asks for money to continue using the program. Why is it NOT being disallowed as spam as my free program seems to be? Or, is there some other problem with my submission I am overlooking?

The link I'd like to present is on one of my own web sites (http://www.sitontop.com/KDImages/as_photos.html/#Factory), and I am the sole author/owner of the web sites, programs and images involved.

Any help is appreciated!
