It depends on what characters (and features) from ANSI are used by that
screen. Some ANSI graphics convert quite well into ASCII, others don't.
I have written some kind of Ansi2Ascii converter for my ASCII-Art
program JavE, but I have not finished it - so it's only available in the
developer version on my system (BTW: This converter also deals with ANSI
anmiations and was ment to convert them to JMOV animations).
If you want to give it a try you can post the ANSI graphics to me and I
will try to convert it.
