All you need to do is to follow each `printf' by "fflush(stdout);".
`printf' doesn't automatically flush its buffers unless the string it
produces ends with a newline.

ANSI screen control is only available if you install the ANSI.SYS
console driver on your machine.  DJGPP doesn't support the ANSI escape
sequences in its library (and neither does any other DOS compiler).
