When it first came up in Elpher I thought, WTF? this looks like ANSI art in a terminal that doesn't support it, then realized it basically was lol. > As for the escape codes & color...

With respect to my earlier post a few mins ago, here's three FOSS examples of how it can be, and has been for decades, supported without any brain pain: https://enigma-bbs.github.io/ https://github.com/wwivbbs/wwiv https://gitlab.com/magickabbs Some BBSes support ANSI, some don't. Some terminal clients, including both Telnet and SSH support it, and some don't. Historic anecdotal evidence suggests it hasn't broken anything :) -- Bradley D.
