        Yeah.  That's probably the biggest issue.  Most line feeds
        in code only got 128 characters.  I'm not sure why he
        would make lines that big.

     Did you check out SWAG the ansi section?  If I recall it has
     a whole file on ansi codes and pretty easy to figure out.
     If Bjorn can't help you I'll see what i can.  But the file
     and code is big.  If you have specific questions or something
     for me to look for please let me know.  Otherwise i'd just
     be reading line by line and not sure what to look for
     exactly.  :)

     Is it just the Ansi stuff?
