Code Page 437. The original
IBM Personal Computer character set, a superset of the
ASCII character set, can be represented using the
UNICODE character set. This is the character set that is used in
ANSI art or
437 art files and some
ZIP archive descriptions (.
NFO or
FILE_ID.DIZ) held over from the
MSDOS era.
The box drawing (0xB0 to 0xDF) symbols are meant to be used in monospaced fonts using the HTML TT or PRE tags or by using the corresponding CSS font style.
HOWTO Display 437 art on non MS-DOS displays
The GNU recode utility is perfectly capable of converting cp437 to many alternate formats:
- recode cp437..html produces HTML 4.0 entities as per the table below (except for control codes). Just add a PRE and TT tags and you're good to go!
- recode -g cp437..L1 produces ISO 8859-1 suitable for most modern OSes.
NU2's
Screen to HTML(www.nu2.nu/scr2htm) can convert full
ANSI Art with colors into an HTML file.
ACiDDraw (www.acid.org) and
pablodraw(pablodraw.sourceforge.net) can display or edit files on Win32 PCs.
