    I haven't had much success with finding an ansi editor that runs natively on linux. Pablodraw is what some folks are using but I haven't set that up yet.

    There is an ansi editor in mystic -cfg that I have used some and seems to work well.

    I use PabloDraw (by Picoe) on Mac OS X and Ubuntu 18.04 without issue. Here's the information to install it correctly in Ubuntu 18.04;



    #First you need to add the repo for mono 2.10
    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
    echo "deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-bionic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official-stable.list
    sudo apt update

    #Next you need to install mono-complete and gtk-sharp2
    sudo apt install mono-complete gtk-sharp2

    #Now once this is installed, download the linux .zip file from Picoe http://download.picoe.ca/pablodraw/3.2/PabloDraw-3.2.1.zip

    #Finally, and this isn't documented as far as I can see, PabloDraw only seems #to see files that are *lowercase* in folders, so rename all the files you #want to use to lowercase, an easy way to do this, is the following in the #folder you have the files that might be uppercase;
    zip -r foo.zip foo/*; unzip -LL foo.zip

    This will install all the necessaries to run PabloDraw with mono 2.10.


    Hope this helps :)

    Best regards,
    Christian.

    Two use within mbse - both independent of it are :

    duhdraw should find it as dahdraw.tgz
    TetraDraw possibly findable as TETR~VC#.TGZ

    Now to see if available on my system ......


    Tetradraw is found as ttd_202.zip in area 101 - Linux - Bulletin Board Systems for L/Unix.

    AcidDraw v1.25r for DOS is ADRAW125.zip

    there might well be other editing tool for ansi screens suggest looking using the filefind function with /ansi /ANSI options etc. my system will send a complete list - well up to 500 any way.

    although used for mbse ansi screens have not done so for many years as just edit by hand for any minor changes.

    i do mean minor !
