   To be fair, 'slrn' displayed that extended ASCII fine. It's the ANSI   
   codes that don't get translated. In your case, that might be a character   
   issue where your font/character set is missing those characters. Maybe   
   you're in UTF-8 only and that post was CP437? I'm in CP437 due to   
   accessing slrn through old terminals and a BBS.
