ObCodeMrMalibuDidn'tDebugBecauseIt'sWayTooComplicatedHack: My terminal program back logs 24K of data and uses it for scroll back and a printer buffer. I didn't like seeing things like ^[[4m in my printer listings, so I decided to convert such codes into something my printer can understand. When a vt escapeis detected, a control code pointer is set to a non-zero value correspodning to the position in an array of the appropritate printer code. When a it's time to output a character to the printer, the value of this pointer is checked. If zero, the character comes from the buffer. If non-zero, it indexes and array to get the character and is incremented. If the character from the array is a terminating character, the pointer is reset to zero and normal operation continues.
