OK, so I should have specified the problem properly........
I have simh running in a DOS window under Win98SE. I am trying to install
NetBSD 2.0 onto a simulated VAX ('cause the real one doesn't arrive until
tomorrow, and I haven't played VAX before!).
After a little searching, I found that Windows doesn't install the ANSI.SYS
driver when it is installed, and without this, DOS cannot interpret the ESC
codes.
I've now added Ansi.sys to the config.sys file, which has improved matters
(the cursor control works), now all I have to do is figure out how to
control the line length - I suspect a switch is required on the ANSI driver.
I'll report back when (IF) I get it to work properly.
Jim.

Hi All,
I've been trying to install NetBSD 2.0 on the SimH VAX emulator, but the
install text shows up as control codes, rather than correctly spaced and
formatted.
What have I done wrong?
Thanks
Jim.
