Hi folks. I'm creating a new door game written in Pascal with a star trek >storyline. Looking for suggestions on good ansi art creation software I can use
to make my 'screens' for my text based game. I run linux so that's the one big >snafu.

That is not a big issue. I currently use an old DOS program,
called TheDraw, in a dosemu window under linux. It works great
making screens for my linux-based bbs. It may also work well
under dosbox.
I saw someone else also suggested a program called moebius, which
has a native linux version.

Yes thanks for that. I'm using moebius now since you suggested
it. Sorry, I forgot to reply.
I (tried to) take a look at Moebius on Linux, but how the heck to
you start/run it? I downloaded the zip (I think) from github and
did not see any executable files in there, or source code to
compile... How do you run it??? Thanks.

sudo apt install moebius
Heh. That only works on Debian-ish systems (which I'm not
using).
Anybody else know how to compile/run Moebius, as gotten from it's
Github site?

"an old DOS program, called TheDraw".. You say that like nobody has heard of . :P It was probably one of the most well-known ANSI editors in the 90s.

Yes, and those of us who have been around that long would sure know of
it. I was thinking my audience might be newer to BBSing than us, but
maybe I am wrong. ;)
i was an avid bbs user in the nineties but never heard of 'the draw' because it never occured to me to create ANSI graphics. That was a sysop's job in
my eyes.

LOL, yes it was.
I have a sister who, back in the day, did get into doing ANSI art even though she was not a Sysop (or even a BBS user). I think she saw some
of the screens I was looking at one day and thought it was neat.
