add DEVICE=ANSI.SYS to your config.sys and you can easily 'port'

DOS.
Well, if you want to "port" an existing program from Unix/Linux to DOS,
this would be a quick option, with all the added bloat...
programming *on* DOS in the year 2023 is like self flagellation. you
are absolutely allowed to do it; it's just not recommended.
Why not? It worked just fine for all intends and purposes for two
decades, so why would that not be "recommended" to do so in 2023?
That is the part that I think is the true fallacy that too many people
perpetrate these days, when claiming to be interested in (Free)DOS.
