Or re-work it slightly to be a Win32 Console app, and forget about
memory constraints.  (Unless it HAS to be DOS.)

If you used subroutines for cursor positioning, and console i/o, then
you can fairly easily replace the DOS calls with the Win32 API calls.

Main difficulty is if you rely on Ansisys, it's broken for Consoles.
I ended up writing my own replacement cputs() to include Ansisys-like
decoding.
