   I have a feeling Telegard may have fallen into the accidental category.  It   
   would split out ANSI and it sometimes looked ok, other times it would clear the   
   screen and the terminal would beep over and over again while displaying a   
   jumbled mess in fragments.   
      
   Mystic does it much better!  :)
