[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] nansi.sys

(Atula Herath) (06/08/89)

Hi everybody,


I built the vi editor from the sources. But the screen updates are
not satisfactory. I mean when it go to the last line of a page
(24 in first) it starts up scoling in that line. I have to type
<ctrl> L to get the real screen. When I went through the
documentation I found out about a driver called nansi.sys
required to run this program.

I don't have such a device driver. Is there anyway I can get a copy
of that. Perhaps somebody may be able to mail it. That would be
grate provided it is in the public domain.

Apart from that stevie is grate. It has got everything in **ix vi.
All modes, including set number.

Cheers!

Athula

I tried to send NANSI.SYS (UUE to you but your address doesn't
appear on the posting.  I'll send when I get the address.

      I am a PC user also. I would love to use same editors on both Unix
      and PC. Is there any way I could get your copy for PC, that is if
      you do plan to post it on NOTES or on any BBS.

      Thanks

You should be able to use NNANSI.SYS, an "improved" version of nansi.sys
that has just appeared in .. this news group, as long as you have an EGA
or better display.  (The program has #lines detect logic that does not
work in adapters prior to EGA).

Does anyone know if a Hercules graphics compatible version of the
nansi.sys console driver exists? Thanks in advance.
