It doesn't work right with large model, at least for me, and there are bugs
in the scrolling optimization stuff where you can lose lines, but it served
as an starting point for making one that works.

Hmm, you can do stdio in DOS windows...  Come on, it's very useful for
debugging, and there are applications that need to have scrolling text,
like terminal programs.

Who says every application should have to have a graphical user interface?
Maybe for the least sophisticated end-users, but it's nice to be able to
quickly port a stdio-style program and not worry about doing a GUI front-
end, at least right away (cf. xterm, the Amiga CLI, the amount of time
you spend developing running under COMMAND.COM).
