Libvcs and ansicat v1.0 (C) 1996 Adam Ierymenko [api@one.net]

This software is public domain; it may be redistributed or modified
freely and comes with absolutely no warranties.

The libvcs library is a small library that allows C programs under Linux
to manipulate the console in a similar way as DOS programs.  It also
contains an ANSI parsing routine.  To make the library, just type make
in this directory.  If you have an ELF-based system, you can use the
already compiled libvcs.a, otherwise you should delete it and remake it
in a.out format.

The ansicat program is in the progs directory.  Change into the progs
directory and type make to compile.  Again, the precompiled binary
distributed with this source tree is ELF.

Any program using libvcs must be run from a standard linux console.  It
cannot be used in an Xterm, 'screen' or 'splitvt' window, or over a
telnet/rlogin connection.

The program must also be run as root or installed setuid root unless your
/dev/vcsa* devices are universally readable and writable (which is not
a good idea as it would allow anyone to view others' consoles!).  If you
don't have these devices, use the create_vcs script.
