  • mutil ansi message posts

    g00r00,

    I don't know if anybody else has brought it up, but in A39, I'm having an
    issue where mutil is not posting ansi's right. I try to use the message posting feature for some ansi that have worked in the past, but when using
    A39, the ansis are now garbled. I've tried several times to resave the ansis in block mode with 79x24 but it still garbles them.

    I just wanted to bring it up in case it hasn't been mentioned before.

    Yep confirmed here also. Using MUTIL to post ANSI using the latest pre-alpha
    40 build also does the same. But if I use the FSE and call the 'upload'
    option it imports them in nicely.

    What I found worked well is setting the max line length to 79 in TheDraw. Not sure for other programs however. Setting just the block to 79 but leaving unlimited lines results in garbled messages.

    Hope that helps

    Cheers!

    MUTIL msg post has never directly supported ANSI, you have to format it to 79 columns or less. It sounds like you did that though?
