If this is a dumb question, please excuse my ignorance.

Does the ANSI.SYS device driver that comes with IBM DOS resemble
anything else?  In other words, is this a standard set of escape
sequences that could be used to emulate a terminal?

(What I really want to know is, is there a termcap around which will
let an IBM PC running say, PC-TALK III, emulate some common terminal 
so I can use vi or whatever?) 

Please respond via mail, and thanks for your help.
