There was recently a query for a termcap for an IBM PC with ANSI.SYS installed. While several such termcaps have been posted in the past, I beleive they were all incomplete and/or had errors. Here is a termcap that I wrote and have tested, with vi, etc. As far as using it with PCTALK, I don't know what will happen, but my experience suggests that any "special" keys, such as DEL will not work - your communications program must do the translation from the IBM key scan codes to ASCII on these keys. This termcap still represents a pretty dumb terminal - no line insert, delete, etc. Does anyone care to contribute a nice public-domain terminal emulation program? Comments on the termcap are welcome, but no flames on the vertical layout, please.
