(To this day, in my house we call garlic bread “6BR”, as in, “hey Dad, could you pass the 6BR?”)
Alas, that's the part that has no source available. (The TELNET server class library has published source, buried in a hyperlink in a comment to a closed issue from 2019, but the actual program built to use that library has not.)
It has been over 4 years and the redirect is still there. That bet would have been lost. (-:

But for me it works properly only in a terminal emulator, proper GNU/Linux terminal (Ctrl+Shift+F1) can't display most of used symbols, it supports only ASCII.
My personal server delivers content via HTTP/S, or Telnet, so this will be a good way to display maps for people who connect via Telnet.
Would be fun to use this with that - thanks!
