A: I wrote the original source code using DOS characters, with characters drawing borders/boxes in comments in the source code. In the interests of posterity, I have left the code intact as it was.

A: The original code was compatible all the way back to an 8086 machine. 8086 would allow you to do conditional jumps only within +/-128 bytes, so I spent too much time shuffling code around to meet this restriction. When I shifted away from this 8086 restriction, I never went back to update the code that was mutilated by it.
