 Well, this little pet project grew from an experimentation with
REALbasic just to see if it could be done.  So, I've only got limited control
of how things are rendered.

For an GUI-based, non-dos mode ANSI BBS telnet app, it's by far my favorite
so far :) And, for OS X, it's the only one that flawlessly displays ANSI and
IBM high-ASCII characters at variable window-sizes.

And with a little tweak and a click of a compiler option, I can get a Win and
Linux version as well without having to write a lot of special code.

When I put out the public beta, you'll have to tell me how sucky it is :)
