It reduces the file size, but encodes the same data. It was developed by Tobias Svensson and Topologi Software.<br /> <br /> The software includes these DOS utilities:<br /> * ComAnsi - Convert ANSI Art to ComAnsi<br /> * DeAnsi - Convert ComAnsi to ANSI Art<br /> * ShowAnc - Display a ComAnsi or ANSI Art file<br /> <br /> == Format details ==<br /> The format simply replaces every occurrence of the ''ESC ['' byte sequence with ''ESC''.<br /> <br /> The README.DOC file included with the software (v1.0) briefly describes the format, but with an unfortunate clerical error that makes it completely wrong.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[ANSI Art]]<br /> * [[ASD Archiver]] - for other software by the same author<br /> <br /> == Software ==<br /> * [{{SACFTPURL|pack|comansi.zip}} comansi.zip] - ComAnsi/DeAnsi v1.0 (for DOS)<br /> <br /> == Links ==<br /> * [https://web.archive.org/web/20030803170629/http://hem.passagen.se/svto/ Developer's website (2003 archive)]</div>
