Primarily, the printing characters not showing on the screen (e.g. TAB,
BACKSPACE, DELETE, etc.). Turns out, those characters aren't used in the ANSI
files to diplay anyways. So, FreeBASIC is behaving the same way as the ANSI
text file. I noticed other ANSI art programs not using those printing
characters either, I just decided to move on with character sets as others have
as well.
