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?
