I just called them and have a couple of comments. First, they are Hersey (not Hershey) Micro Consulting, Inc. Second, they do not sell the source for Fansi-Console. The binary with manual is $75. Craig answered the phone there and said that they not only do full ANSI, but also VT100, which is a superset of ANSI. I think I may get it. I normally like to have source, but the main additions I would make would be those that Hersey has already made, and termcap entries for ANSI and VT100 abound. -- bc Bill Crews @ NetCor Data International ..!{seismo,gatech,ihnp4}!ut-sally!cyb-eng!bc (512) 835-2266
