during password entry for example.

CON_R_ECHOX and CON_L_ECHOX, then sends "\b \b"

Replace all instances of [br]puts("\b \b") with call to backspace()

This fixes once and for all the "spaces entered at password prompt are
echoed as spaces" problem.

Har.

masked space... feel free to start a debate on this as I'm not sure which
is more right.

EVENTUALLY something "right" needs to be done here.

work in password entry mode.  :-(

non-ANSI users.

resolves the problem of displaying any ASCII 255 characters embedded in
messages, menus, text.dat, etc.

count less than 1. This indirectly fixes a bug in getstr() when hitting Ctrl-X
when already at the first character in the string.

This will be handy for correctly converting colored HTML text to ANSI.

eventually, these may be non-ANSI-specific.
Updated brace-style.
Moved clearline() method from listfile.cpp.
Using rputs/rprintf instead of bputs/bprintf for sending ANSI escape sequences.
bugfix: ctrl_a(127) does nothing rather than send <esc>[0C.

variants (gmtime_r, localtime_r, and ctime_r) for thread-safe operation on Unix

return value (some implementations do not return negative on overflow).

GMT/UTC.

Fixed bputs() for strings that end in a Ctrl-A char.

if SS_PAUSEOFF bit is set (e.g. with @POFF@), SS_PAUSEON is ignored and there will be no auto-pause.

Move internal sysop page (random tones) from getkey() to inkey() and replaced the short tones in msgabort() (every 100th call).

Eliminated local sysop page sound (random tones) from msgabort() function (slowed down menu display too much).

Added special values for ansi() to return escape sequence for normal and black background.

Removed unused code.
