The ones that affected me were dealing with SOT/EOT.

If you've seen a speed improvement because of it, yeah, good idea.  I
expect the fastest thing would be an fwrite to stdout from a static buffer
filled with spaces.  But actually I thought the whole ANSI thing would have
been ditched on the Amiga in favour of some native screen-drawing routines?
 Like whatever ncomm is likely to use?  BFN.  Paul.
