>>>> ANNOUNCING !! The *new* ANSI GALLERY <<<<

Right next door to the ascii atelier is the new ANSI Art Gallery. To
get there, just @go ansi, and invoke the verbs on ANSITE once you're
there. Be sure to have your terminal type set to IBM PC ansi and have
your BayMOO ansi color options turned on. If you want to add to the
gallery, just deposit your masterpiece therein. Or contact Yea and he
will add any verb-invoked ansi art to the ANSITE.
