It may be the ZBUG, included with Disk Edtasm+ from Radio Shack, already
handles everything you want.  I believe the Disk version of ZBUG includes
its own versions of CHROUT and POLCAT, though I'm not 100% sure about
that.  It's probably in the archives here.  It has also been patched by
third parties for 80-column output and some other niceties (Robert Gault?)
I'm pretty sure it is relocatable.
