I've seen quite a few programs that do this, but if you are interested in
the fast screen updates, increased keyboard buffer, and ansi you might try
FansiConsole from Hersey Consulting. It also includes a function called
"Sticky Key" (or somesuch) which allows you to press Ctrl and then C. There
is a version 3.0 out (I think, I called the BBS and it mentioned it, but it
wasn't available on the BBS). Version 2.x only supports EGA though. It
actually converts the screen to an EGA type of screen (no 'dots' in the
zeros). I don't think it affected any of the graphics modes. When I
purchased my VGA a month or so ago, I had to drop it (until I can find the
VGA version).
