I've used PabloDraw for a while now too. The only issue I have with it is that it seems to generate extra ANSI escape codes that I end up having to manually remove. On something like SyncTerm, you don't notice them, but I also make sure to support ANSI on Atari 8bit terms like Ice-T which ends up printing the unknown (to it) escape codes and making a mess. At the very least, it bloats the file size.

Here's the regex I use to find the chars to remove if anyone's interested:

.?\[\d+;\d+;\d+;\d+t

I should also mention that I don't really have anything complex in my ANSI files so perhaps those would be needed if I was doing something more advanced.
