Yeah looks good. I think I would probably have done it slightly differently similar to PETSCII with mode 7 running on a different port. This would let you set the parameters like 40 columns and have everything displayed as they should be. Of course, you'd have to write a bunch of your own stuff to make it work properly. I did start to try and integrate Mode 7 stuff with Synchronet but sort of stalled out. The big issue is you'd have to create an entire text.dat to support it.

As you know, the main problem is that while ANSI doesn't use any space, the Mode 7 control characters do so you'll have to account for those when working out word wrapping and spacing. Maybe I'll have another go when I'm in the mood.
