Yes, i just wrote an ansi-ascii mirc-mush translator. You must send the codes for the colors, and the associated opening and closing tags, that the mush/mud clients you use expect to see. Having done only one mush, and only for mirc, i can't say what your system needs to do for the actual codes, other than look up the olde dos screen codes and try those. Kat
