Actually, he's talking about those 2 lines that are both different, yet
unmarked as such by diff.  Specifically, the differences between '*q++ =
LF;' and '*q++ = CR;'.  They're different, but there's no ! marker.

Anyway, it's funny that you point it out -- I've never noticed that before.
Looking at my ansi-patched source, though, there are even more differences
surrounding the context of that change.  I wouldn't worry about it too much,
though.  I've generally had to apply the ansi patch by hand every time and
have only changed the one line (in comm[.net].c, that is) to recoginze the
ESC character.

So, yeah, net/net -- just add that little '&&' clause in the 'if' statement
to handle the ESC character as well as the definition of said character in
host.h.
