Hi

 de> Some great feedback already - would be good to support 256 color ANSI if
 de> that was possible, I could see myself playing with that.
Why 256 color ANSI and which escape sequence? 
There is full RGB support:

ESC[ 38;2;r;g;b m Select RGB foreground color
ESC[ 48;2;r;g;b m Select RGB background color

I'll put that on the todo list. If you can point me to the 256 color sequences I'll implement that as well.

 de> * Flash doesnt flash (I use flashing in my AnsiTEX that I've created).
 de> Any chance of supporting viewdata? :)

Ok missed that - only implemented ice colors :). 
I didn't know about Viewdata - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viewdata
Y sounds interesting. I'll look if I can find a BBS for that if I do I'll add support. Did that for Petscii and Atascii.


 de> * Also, with my AnsiTEX, I use cursor positioning to get to the bottom

 de> char is on the previous line, column 80, and the 2nd char is on the
 de> bottom line, col 1). 

Can I test that somewhere?
