Usage

ans [file ...]

ANSI, AnsiEdit, Artworx, ASCII, Binary, Ice Draw, PCBoard, Tundra, and XBin are supported.

Scrolling can be performed by using the up and down keys. Pressing shift and using the cursor keys with shift the image slightly faster. Pressing space, and shift-space will scroll the image forward and back a page. Escape or 'q' quits the program. When viewing multiple files, 'j' and 'k' moves forward and backward, respectively. Pressing the t, s, l, i, and n keys will display the title, sauce, file list, information overlays, and toggle ninth-bit font rendering.

An SDL2-compatible game controller (such as an XBox controller) can be used to scroll the artwork with the analog stick.
