Summary: termcap on PC?

Laran,
Could you give a little more info about the FCONSOLE.DEV driver
or other alternatives.  It would be most unpleasant to have a Vi
port to the PC only to find no insert/delete line functions.
Also, you mention termcap in your article.  I was not aware there
was a termcap package available under MS/DOS.  How much did the
extras required to get Vi functioning set you back?  Suppliers?


Thanks,
