Tetradraw is a fully featured ANSI art editor for *nix operating systems by John McCutchan?. ANSI art is only made of the ASCII characters with 16 colours. ANSI art is mainly used in text mode interfaces. Tetradraw is the first completly usable ANSI art editor for *nix operating systems. However Tetradraw does not only emulate the ansi editors for DOS. Tetradraw is revolutionary in the way ANSI art can be drawn, for the first time ever two artists can draw together over the internet on the exact same image (MultiDraw?). This has been a long awaited feature and should provide a new level of art.
On top of the ground breaking MultiDraw? here are some of Tetradraw's features:

- Many configurable options that can be changed from internal options screen.
