Sorry, but definitely not true!  Standard ANSI.SYS does NOT work with
Stevie (and lots of other things, I'd suspect).  It doesn't do the full
set of ANSI escape sequences.  I forget at the moment which one is missing
from ANSI.SYS that Stevie uses.

If you're having trouble with NNANSI, I recall a discussion a few months
ago that concluded that you should try NNANSI without the "fast mode".
The high-speed scrolling used by nnansi doesn't work with everything, but
the normal-speed operation seems quite compatible.  (Certainly known to
work with Elvis.)

Hope this helps.
