File extension ANS description:

ANSI art is a computer artform that was widely used at one time on BBSes. It is similar to ASCII art, but constructed from a larger set of 256 letters, numbers, and symbols — all codes found in IBM code page 437, often referred to as extended ASCII and used in MS-DOS environments. ANSI art also contains special ANSI escape sequences that color text with the 16 foreground and 8 background colours offered by ANSI.SYS, an MS-DOS device driver loosely based upon the ANSI X3.64 standard for text terminals. Some ANSI artists take advantage of the cursor control sequences within ANSI X3.64 in order to create animations, commonly referred to as ANSImations. ANSI art and text files which incorporate ANSI codes carry the de facto .ANS file extension.

How to convert file with extension ANS:

If your opened file type is simple text file, you don't need to converting it. You can rename file extension to .txt or text file extension you currently need for your associated program or project. There can be sometimes problems with right character encoding recognition and determining of used charset for text in the file and consequently converting into character set you want. Look for some text encoding converter software if your text editor can't convert text into code charset you need.

If your file is not simple text file (viewed text is corrupted, contains unknown symbols, special characters or binary code), you will need to find native text editor or word processing program for this file type or similar program capable to import this text file format. Try to do some internet search for the right application for this file type.
