- I've run into that familiar problem in trying to view Ansi colored pictures and
- using the Crt Unit at the same time. The Crt Unit
- doesn't translate the Ansi codes and displays them literally. Now,
- I've created an Ansi interpreter Procedure that reads each line in
- an ansi File and calls the appropriate TextColor/TextBackground Procedures,
- according to what ansi escape String was found. This
- is groovy and all, but I just found out something new today With:
- }
- Assign(Output,'');
- ReWrite(Output);
- {
- ...and that it translates all the ansi codes For me already! Now,
- the big question is, what are the advantages and disadvantages
- of using this Assign method vs. the Ansi interpreter method? Is
- this Assign method slower/faster, take up more memory, more disk
- space, etc. Any information would be highly appreciated! :)
