I noticed this comment:

This is incorrect - ANSI.SYS is still included in modern Windows 
versions, at least up to Vista; the only difference is whether it's 
switched on by default.

But libraries such as yours at least mean that the codes will work 
regardless of whether the end user has ANSI.SYS switched on.  But 
disp.h, which I've already mentioned, also has the same advantage.  So 
unless the OP is porting an app that already uses ANSI codes, or writing 
a terminal emulator or something....
