ANSI is an acronym for ‘American National Standards Institute’ and actually has little to do with this ‘ANSI music’ stuff. However, the American National Standards Institute defined a set of codes for terminals to provide a standard for cursor control. This was expanded to include graphics modes and color with the release of the ANSI.SYS device driver. It wasn’t actually ANSI who expanded the set of codes to include the graphics, which are specific to IBM compatible computers with certain video adapters, but the name ANSI stuck. The original purpose of ANSI cursor control was to give mainframes a way to control the cursor on various terminals connected to them. The purpose of the ANSI.SYS driver was to give programs a simple and compatible way of controlling the video screen. However, it seems that the only real use for ANSI has been to give BBS’s the ability to control the screen colors and cursor positioning. This even led to a new artform, but let’s not even think about that. It’s too much like Art Deco. In CGA color, no less.
