I want a replacement for ANSI.SYS.  I liked FCONSOLE.DEV (fansi), but
it doesn't work with some of my software.  The things I like about
fansi are:

	- increases size of keyboard buffer
	- allows me to control time length of ctrl-g beep
	- scrolls fast
	- accepts extended escape sequences
	- many other features

I would like a driver that does the above (or most) plus:

	- supports 132 columns (nansi v2.2 doesn't)
	- can speed up keyboard repeat rate

I know that separate programs can do the last thing mentioned.  I need
one.  I have one called RATE300.COM, but it freezes up a Compaq 386 and
an AT&T 6312.  I have KEY386.COM also, and that makes a nice, snappy
repeat rate, but it kicks in way too soon, so I have lots of repeated
characters.

(I looked at the new newsgroups.  Would this posting have fit into
.programmer or .apps?)

Thanks!
