Subj : ANSI, BIN, SAUCE, and EOF

One frustration when playing with ANSI or BIN files using frame.js is SAUCE.

I understood from the SAUCE spec that SAUCE stuff comes after an EOF character
'\0X1A', which generally prevented old terminals and programs from processing
the SAUCE info.

This doesn't seem to stop Frame.js. It attempts to render the sauce info as if
it was graphic information.

I want to propose that Frame.js be adjusted to recognize SAUCE records.

There could be a lot of benefits from parsing SAUCE records, like getting a
file's width and height and not needing it specified in code. That'd be a handy
feature. However, I recognize that parsing SAUCE is probably asking way too
much.

So how about if Frame.js could at least look for SAUCE and strip/ignore it
while parsing the ANSI or BIN file?
