It should also be pointed out that, in addition to being faster than
DOS I/O calls, ROM BIOS calls or direct manipulation of the display
memory was the only way to do anything like cursor positioning and the
like in DOS 1.X, the ANSI-like terminal controls are new for DOS 2.0,
and still offer much less capability than is present in the ROM.
