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.
