Does anyone know of any manual or book that covers the strings ANSI.SYS responds to under DOS 4.0? Ideally it would be about the PCDOS version since that has the /L option which Microsoft says doesn't exist under MSDOS. I'm not picky though, I'll take any recommendation about a book or manual that covers ANSI.SYS.

One book that I have used for a few years is the MS-DOS Power User's Guide by Jonathan Kamin (pub: SYBEX). All of Appendix B is devoted to the ANSI escape sequences and how to use them. Obviously, the version that I have predates DOS 4.0 but there might be a newer edition of the book out by now. Dave Harper - Convex Computer Corp. E-mail address: 3000 Waterview Pky.
