Michael Pang		 en Great for viewing logfiles! Although some settings like the palette and page wrap don't persist.

Anatoli Verkhovski		 en Great little tool! I use it for viewing log from (simulated) embedded devices.

Jon Velapoldi		 en I use this for (IMO) one of the scourges of the internet, log files that use ANSI control sequences to just change the color of text output. And for that, this is one of the few consistent plugins that's reasonably well-maintaned. It's a bit hokey to set up for the purposes that I want, as the plugin assumes a 80-character width which isn't true for log files, but that's reasonably easy to work through with the myriad of options available (I pick Fonts -> Monospace (default), Display -> Windows (color pair), ANSI -> uncheck ANSI 80 column wrap, ANSI -> IBM VGA (color palette), ANSI -> Use iCE colors (checked) to show reasonably well).

Stewart Rap		 en Draws perhaps half of the ansis I view correctly. Lots of "unknown control" and "unknown function" errors.

FIBER0PTIC HELL (FIBER0PTIC)		 en It works, its free. great for reading .nfo files. Add this with other extensions and you can save pages rather fast. I dont use color when I draw stuff unless its on the c64 for making bbs iscreens, search for ACID and CIA two excelent groups of artists. Jason Scott from TextFiles.com has a nice collection that anyone can download .zip and view offline or search his database. thanks for making this. FIBER0PTIC/FBR, The HUMBLE Guys, Napalm, & Worship.

Cameron Young		 en I thought this was awesome! I like how I can view ansi files right in my brower. I would like to see something that would take colored ascii off webpages and turn it into an .ans file. I just want to see a lot more stuff like this! Keep up the good work.
