	FANSI is a fantastic Ansi program.  The best you will ever find.  FULL
implementation of Ansi and most of the VT52 and others too.  BUT it is NO LONGER
a SHAREWARE program!!!  FCONSOLE has gone commercial with the program because
of the time put into it and all the features it has (supports most computers
and most CGA & EGA boards in almost any mode!).  I forget the price of the
program and the documentation but it isn't that bad for what you get.  If
you have many programs that rely on ANSI stuff try FANSI because the programs
will run MUCH faster!
