Yeah, this has been making the rounds on the DR_DEBUG echo on FidoNet
(with lots of heat and little light).  The two real solutions so far
are to use STRIPZ to strip the comments, and to omit ANSI.SYS or use
an ANSI replacement without the keyboard reassignment (ZANSI but not
NANSI).

As pointed out by people who got upset by the PK-bashing that ensued,
ANY archiver which allows comments (PAK, ZIP, ZOO, etc) can become the
source of a key-reassigning escape sequence.
