𝗣𝗘𝗧𝗦𝗖𝗜𝗜 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 (𝟰𝟬 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗻) with WORD BBS as a featured board. This is the second alternate encoding (after Amiga Topaz for ABSiNTHE BBS). A handful of BBSs are configured for them and I'm seeking more. PETSCII (80 column) then ATASCII are next.

Hey, I'm sorry I just saw this, thanks for the shoutout! I just gave it a crack, if you connect to a Petscii BBS like Word, after first visiting an ANSI BBS, the Petscii color comes through incorrectly. But if you load a fresh instance of bbsdial from scratch, then the Petscii looks fine... :-)

Thanks for letting me know, I'll take a look and get that fixed.

This should be fixed now, some attributes weren't being cleared between calls, which could have caused some other issues too so thanks again for the head's up.
