[DGD]Colour?

[mtaylor]

I would love a copy of the code :)

Would I need to patch the 1.2 Driver I have? Do you have list of the control
codes for ansi colours? I basically just want to jazz up the mudlib a bit by
using different colours for different types of object.

Anyway ... Is there somewhere I can download the code?

Thanks Flibs
