(*  Information...

      For LVI emulation, see LVI.PAS


      Output(S:String) Is called to output the ANSI/WWIV/AVATAR/LVI/PIPE/RIP
      codes.  It defaults to StdOutput, and It may be redefined like so:


      Procedure COMOutput(S:String);
      begin
       { send S to COMPort }

      end;


      begin
       Color.Output:=ComOutput;
      end.


      WWIVParse(S:String) will take a string containing WWIV (ASCII 3) color
      codes, parse it, and output it (through procedure output) with the 
      correct coloring.


      GetEmu will display a menu and ask the user for an emulation.
