At first I thought this post should go under multimedia, but the solution may be connected with environment settings so ...

Apart from using dosbox, vmware or such, is there a way to display *.ans (ansi art) files in a linux terminal (xfce4-terminal) or xterm.

When using programs such as teradraw, colours are displayed along with question marks and other charaters.

I've used a script to test my terminal colour setting and it can definitely display 16 colours.

I've also tried a program called lv (supposedly a "less for ansi" but then only the raw escape codes are displayed "\]3" etc

I'd be just as happy using a gui app as well, if it displays correctly.

Thanks
