Dan Kegel, who wrote the nansi package, tells me that a new version is near
release, and that it squashes a few bugs that caused obscure problems with
some display cards.  It is an excellent screen driver (I use it exclusively)
and makes an old, rusty XT look like it has an 80386 under the hood.

One problem: no suitable newgroup exists for IBM PC sources -- in particular,
comp.sources.ibm.pc does not exist, despite the very heavy traffic in
comp.sys.ibm.pc.  So I don't know where or how he might post it ...
