Thats great news!
Have you tested it on multiple linux/bsd terminals to make sure it works
correctly? I believe most modern terminals support escape codes but it wouldnt
hurt to check.
But please still provide us with DOS and Windows Eu2C translators like you have
been doing all along. I use pure DOS on two of my computers and would like to use
the translator on them.
