Your DOS system should have support for ANSI control codes (you may
have to boot with ANSI.SYS in config.sys, IIRC), and Mike Feldman has
an ANSI cursor control package (search www.adaic.com). Alternatively,
you can define a 24x80 array of byte pairs, where one of the bytes
is the character and the other is the color, "use at" to put it at
16#B800#,0 (IIRC), then do your own string write and cursor control.

How many different procedures are in those specs? It probably
has a simple INT21h call with and without full register sets, and
BIOS calls with specifiable INT number. Those should be pretty
simple to recreate or use the not-very-different versions in your
current DOS targetted compiler.
