They all (the Wheres, sound, and delay, etc) are included (without
source code) in the /pc/ts/tspa23##.arc (##=40,50,55,60) TP units
collection available by anonymous ftp and mail server from
garbo.uwasa.fi and simtel20 archives, and their mirrors. 
Furthermore, note that the WhereX and WhereY (and many other) Crt
counterparts in my TP units do not rely on ansi.sys having been
loaded.  They are more generic, they don't need Crt, _and_ they do
not make the restrictive requirement about ansi.sys.
