I did manage to *fix* the problem, seems if you use a TTF (True Type Font) it
and it doesn't support ANSI codes it'll display gibberish, also found out 
hat
if you use the default font: TERMINAL and set the font size to a point higher
than 10 it sends gibberish, anything below or above 10 and that's what I'd 
get,
garbage, I set it to a point size of 10, and wham, bam, there was the ANSI in
its bright and shining colors!   So you may want to try that, funny thing is 

*COULD HAVE* sworn I tried that at least once before.  But it's working now 
and
I ain't about to mess with it again and get it NOT working.  :)
Hope this solves your ANSI problem.   Let me know if it worked for you.
 AW> back to TM 4.12 for DOS. It works fine. Personally I think TM 1.00 and
 AW> 1.10 has a bug in it and will have to be fixed by the programmer.
  I think you may be right about a bug in the code.
