Yeah, I am aware of conio.h, if my memory serves me correct I used in it a
CS class. But the main problem with it is that it is virtually non-existant
on *nix systems. What I might end up doing, if nobody has any other better
ideas is to just use ANSI escape sequences, as with the clients used with
accessing *nix it would almost always be compatible and then really, it
isn't too much to ask people make ansi.sys is loaded otherwise.......
