[DGD]Colour?

[Matthew Jenkins]

I have.  overlord.dungeon.ws 2000

I have a routine in there which ties into the send_message function and
replaces certain character combinations with the relevant ansi control
codes.  Makes it much easier to put colour in there, and can even be used
by players when speaking etc.

The inspiration for the codes I used came from many years using PG+
talkers.

I can give you a copy if the code if you like...
