Thanks, Jerry.  I just called them and have a couple of comments.

First, they are Hersey (not Hershey) Micro Consulting, Inc.

Second, they do not sell the source for Fansi-Console.  The binary with
manual is $75.  Craig answered the phone there and said that they not only
do full ANSI, but also VT100, which is a superset of ANSI.  I think I may
get it.  I normally like to have source, but the main additions I would make
would be those that Hersey has already made, and termcap entries for ANSI
and VT100 abound.
