Just a slight note...George Reese took Nightmare out of distribution.  For
ansi, you might try the Discworld Mudlib.  Nightmare and many other LPC
mudlibs use a protocol for representing the escape sequences in a 
way that was easily read and represented (%^MAGENTA%^ for
example) that was developed at Discworld. You can find Discworld at
www.imaginary.com.  If you REALLY want to look at a Nightmare-based
mudlib, try Foundation II or Dead Souls (Dead souls if you're a
masochist).  The advantage of them is that George Reese did a lot of
documentation...not sure whether Discworld does as well, because I've
never actually gone through their lib in depth.
