Blinking is not supported by PM (since it can't be done by common
denominator vga hardware;  note that full-screen blinking is handled by
hardware,  not software).  On a personal note,  I certainly don't miss
blinking.  What the heck do you need it for (in the context of bbs'ing)?

I have never used ZOC.  Is it an AVIO PM app,  or a text app that runs in a
window?  If the former, it must implement ANSI itself;  if you are having
difficulty with this,  ask Luns Tee.

If this is a PM app,  he shouldn't be using AVIO period.  Tell him not to
be cheap and write a real PM program!
