)	I am looking for a decent ANSI.SYS driver for use with PC/VI (a
)VI clone for the PC). I have FANSI-CONSOLE and (at least the version I
)have) screws up the graphics mode of my Zenith EGA video card. The ANSI.SYS
)that comes with the Zenith 386 works okay with PC/VI but doesn't allow
)PC/VI to use al and dl (TERMCAP for add line and delete line) which makes
)screen updating much less optimal. I think I've tried NANSI.SYS and
)ANSIIBM.SYS with no better success. Any tips ? Please email responses.

	An update. I tried NANSI.SYS again and found that it does work
using only al and dl -- using AL and DL hangs the machine. However, it also
only works once. The second invocation of PC/VI freezes the keyboard.
In addition, using NANSI.SYS hangs the program NSWP (a handy directory and
ARC file browser). It seems to fail on highlighting (ESC [7m I think).

	Any better ideas ? BTW the version of FANSI is 2.03 .
