I used to host a bbs like 100 years ago and I had tw on the bbs.
I just ordered the gold game and tw server. My question is,, I used to use a program called the draw to edit the menu pages (trying to remeber what those are called and where they are too, it must be in the docs) There has to be a good (cheap) windows based ansi editor out there. What is everyone using now.

TheDraw is still floating around, still the same version from the BBS days. Or there's DuhDraw if Linux is your fancy.

ACIDDraw is the -top- ANSI editor ever produced in my opinion, but then again it was designed to exacting specifications by the folks from ACiD (the best doodleboy crew ever). I've heard that ACIDDraw has been released specifically for Win32 platforms, but haven't seen it yet. The DOS versions work just fine under 95/98/ME/NT/2K. Not sure about their stability under XP.

They most likely have ACiDDraw one their website...

Yea, I agree that AcidDraw is the best ANSI editor. Unfortunately, the last time I tried it, the version I used suffered the runtime error 200 that old DOS programs written with Borland Pascal have on new faster machines. I've been running into that problem a lot lately with old DOS programs. Is there a newer version that doesn't have that problem?

The version of ACIDDraw that I have works under Win98/NT/2k. Not sure about XP since I have absolutely -NO- intention of ever switching to XP on -any- of my machines. Try the ACiD.org site for their latest version. I've never received any runtime errors using ACiDDraw.
