I have successfully used a program called Z80MU, which lets
you run CP/M programs on an IBM PC under DOS.  I don't know if
it will run on the Rainbow or not.
I does control the screen so as to emulate various video terminals,
so I suppose it is rather hardware-dependent.  I don't remember
if this can be disabled so you could use, say, ANSI.SYS.

You can find this program in the Simtel archives in
PD:<MSDOS.EMULATORS>

Good luck!
