I have a terminal emulator program which uses DOS function call 2 to display a byte of data to the video display. My system is booted with the ANSI.SYS device driver in the CONFIG.SYS file. A termcap which conforms to the ANSII protocol should work with the ANSI.SYS device driver for highlighting the display, and manipulating the cursor. However, I have found that cursor motion abilities of the device driver do not work properly, or a non-ANSI termcap entry for cursor motion must be used in order to properly update the cursor position when using full screen applications like vi. Has anyone out there successfully implemented a termcap on VAX/UNIX which uses the ANSI.SYS device driver with DOS function call #2?
