My favorite was LA Draw. It's on Aminet. On the MS-DOS side, TheDraw and ACiDDraw are good.

ASCII is just a character encoding scheme, and it doesn't know anything about colors--that's what ANSI escape sequences do. Many of the ANSI editors out there are screen based, so they work in 80x25 chunks. Regardless, you should be able to rename your .txt file to .ans to force a program to load it if it won't load it directly.

Well, I recommended LA Draw. It's easy to use. (I haven't run a bulletin board since my C64 days, but I did do screens for local PC and Amiga boards back in the day.)
