  • Galactic Dynasty ANSI issue

    From Alpha@77:1/127 to All on Tue Apr 14 22:29:30 2020
    Hey all. Setting up GD on Linux, and everything appears to work--except for
    the initial Login and Instructions ANSIs. It looks like an extra line break after each line... Anyone ever encountered this? All the text is jagged
    across the screen....

    Sounds like something "fixed" the line endings in the ANSI files. Try
    running unix2dos on the ansi files, (You'll need to use the -f option as
    it will probably complain it's a binary file).
