Hi,
Has anyone noticed that CodeView doesn't work with NNANSI? It
seems that CodeView plays with multiple screen pages, NNANSI doesn't
seem to cooperate. Anyone got a fix or workaround?

The problem is that NNANSI uses the "multiple screen pages" as one large page which it scrolls -- thus its fast performance. You can compile NNANSI with FAST=0. Then CodeView (and some other programs) will work, but you loose most of the performance advantages. I'm working on improvements to NNANSI, and have found some strange problems (that were even in NANSI) -- adding declarations at the beginning of the code causes it to crash (???) and the system crashes when using 386/MAX, attempting to load the driver in high memory. Improvments: 1. Option to compile without keyboard remapping (this ansi.sys feature is apparently used by some Trojan Horse programs). 2. Improved performance in graphic mode 3. Hook to allow proper operation with Paradise VGA cards, and others that set the display mode byte "wrong" when in high resolution character modes.

I tried using both nansi and nnansi with my Paradise VGA Plus. At the DOS prompt, when using any of the Paradise extended text modes (132x43 and 132x25), the first character of the next most recent line would be erased as the file is typed to the screen. With nnansi, bright spots surrounded both sides of my prompt, which disappears when the graphics cursor off batch file was run. NNANSIN did not have the spurious graphics cursor, nor the erased character. But it appeared to crash a program. Good luck in fine-tuning nnansi.
