Ok, so DGD is not going to be a whole lot better in that respect for
my style of design. But I am sure the memory improvements in other
aspects will be helpful.

Nothing new to be looking at the actual size of a room with my code
with an eye towards making it as compact as possible. If for example
I do a planet that is 100x50 'rooms' in size, and each file is 2K or
so in size I believe that is about 10MB of RAM. If each 'room' takes
about 10 mins to cross then 100 would be 17 hours or so, big enough
for the explorers.

Heh, well to me ANSI color means the specialized character set that
BBSs used to make use of. I really miss the different levels of
shaded blocks for example. But yes I do mean ANSI color, with the
standard ASCII character set that any telnet terminal can handle.
