It uploaded, but the text formatting is way off in places,
That kinda makes sense, considering how different a web forum environment is from the text consoles of heydays past.
and one control code is not displaying.

That's worse than having it replaced by a ? I suppose - a casual reader might not even realize something is missing.
Pete got it right,

I spose i could intentionally trash those lines, since the site and the intended environment to run the code no longer exists anyhow...

Or you could preserve them in this thread. I mean they've lasted this long. Either way.
I'm a bit surprised that it works fine in the forum but not in pastebin actually.
The olde mirc versions used 8bit "control codes", I used a dos console to display, which was nice enough to have a multiple screen line entry partition with word wrap. It was quite sufficient for a bot, and could use mirc solely as a scriptable "plug-in" gui.
Ah yes, makes perfect sense now!
For a time, "leet" non-english characters were the rage with some people. This was bad enough i wrote a translator to convert that to english too.
