Is there anything that can (without any input, hopefully a command line
option to it) convert ANSI to ASCII? I've got a bunch of ANSI bulletins for games that don't create ASCII bulletins. They don't have any special characters, but they have formatting codes that don't come out right. I'd
love to find such a beast. DOS or Win32 would work. This would be part of my nightly maintenance.

Tons of programs do that. Telnet over here and check them out.

Thanks, the first one I found (ans2asc) didn't do anything useful,but the second one (ans2txt) was perfect, and even sets the maximum line length!
