(alright, stop laughing.)

I am looking for some way to duplicate the screen control
behavior provided by ANSI.SYS and the like.  I have a
number of tools that I'm porting from DOS that take 
advantage of these control sequences to format their 
display output, and I'd like to get them working under 
X-- cheaply.  (I know, they should probably be rewritten, 
even just to use curses if not something substantial (like X), 
but...)

I'd appreciate hearing about stuff to support this sort
of thing (including PC graphics fonts) and pointers
to where to grab the stuff from.  

Thanks!

Pat
