Cannot convert files from ANSI-art galleries

[ant-222]

Hello, while trying to convert this .ans file with your script:

cat fist.ans | ./ansi2html.sh -p > fist.html

I received a mess. Should your script work with these files?

It would be good to get a screenshot as my terminal doesn't make much sense of it either with:
iconv -fiso-8859-1 < fist.ans

This image looks to be made from multiple passes, but ansi2html isn't handling resetting the position and is just outputting them one after another.

The image should render [thus](http://artscene.textfiles.com/ansi/artwork/.png/fist.ans.png)—if that's what you ask.

Do you mean that the failure of your script to render that file is expected behavior? If so, it shame because a shell script one of the most simple, portable, and self-contained solutions. Could you, perhaps, consider implementing multipass support? It would make you script a great tool for many ANSI-art galleries, such as the [one](http://artscene.textfiles.com/ansi/) whence I downloaded the `fist.ans` expample.

Sorry for the previous message. I didn't know Github did not process Markdown correctly when loading it from e-mails.

Thanks for the screenshot.
Ideally the script should handle this

So you accept this issue as a change request? Great news, and many thanks.
