I've uploaded to sunsite.unc.edu the files:

    /pub/Linux/Incoming/ansi_xterm.lsm
and /pub/Linux/Incoming/ansi_xterm.tar.gz

Here is the README:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The file "ansi_xterm-1.0-patch" is a patch to color_xterm.tar.Z at
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/X11/xutils which will eliminate the
incompatibilities between color xterm and ANSI terminal emulation.

The changes made are:

1) Added support for ESC [s (save cursor position) and
   ESC [u (restore cursor position)

2) ESC [2J will move the cursor to the home position after clearing the
   screen

3) Highlighting of text when the bold attribute is set. 8 resources,
   color8-color15 are added to specify the corresponding highlighted
   colors of those specified by color0-color7.

4) Displaying of bold and underline text in color (just like what 
   setterm does under the Linux console) Two more resources,
   colorBD and colorUL are added to specify the bold and underline text
   colors.

5) Fixed a bug in color xterm that when hiding the cursor at it's
   previous position will leave the character under it in the wrong
   color.

6) Another resource, underLine is added to specify whether to draw
   a horizontal line under the text when the underline attribute is
   set. Default is off, you can turn it on by adding
   "XTerm*VT100*underLine: on" to your ~/.Xdefaults

7) Incorporated VTPrsTbl.c.diff by Enrico Scotoni ([email-masked])
   which will enable printing of characters between 0x80 and 0x9f (and a few
   other characters early in the code page #437 as well).
