Two things
1) I have used FSPOOL (previously posted) and find a few problems.
   It doesn't clean up nicely at the end of the file in some way.
   (extra characters) (I think the byte count in dir is too high)
   and there are problems with DOS 3 and some weird problems firing
   it up to spool to a different disk.
Q-> Does anybody have a better one?

2) I am using device=ansi.sys and find that it does not respond
   exactly the same way as a vt100 does. Is there an "ansi.sys"
Q-> available that behaves like a vt100?

(the reason I ask #2 is that I am using PC Kermit with device=ansi.sys
and set vt52 off and an mskermit.ini file that defines the keys like
a vt100 keyboard and it behaves like a vt100 really well, but not exactly)
