say:

>The players keep yelping at me to provide some ansi color,
Addendum: In the days when no one used Windows terminals, sending ESC[6n to
the client retrieved a cursor position report. I don't know how many people
code this in modern clients, but it's pretty much the only ANSI autodetect
process available, and most Unix and DOS clients still support it. If you
send this, you should receive a response almost immediately with the cursor
position information; ignore it, just verify that you get ESC[##;##<CR> and
you can rest assured the client supports ANSI... otherwise, make sure you
DON'T send ANSI color codes until the player logs in. Non-ANSI people would
get lots of scary garbage. :)
