$ git clone [e-mail]:elkrammer/fansi.git
$ cd fansi
$ make

Usage

./fansi [options] filename

Options:
    --speed value         Set rendering speed. Default speed is 110 - increase it to slow down the output
-s  --ssaver dirname      Screen Saver mode
    --sauce filename      Print SAUCE metadata for file

You may use the --cp437 option to check if your terminal font supports all CP437 glyphs.

TODO / Ideas

• add support for .BIN files
• add support for Xbin (.XB) files
• rewrite using ncurses
