Hello, There! I just got nansi.sys, zansi.sys, and ansi.com in replacing the ansi.sys from msdos. I was trying to use 80x50 character screen on those files and none of them worked. Has anyone ever succeeded using 80x50 char mode by using those files??? I am using msdos 4.01, and with 4dos command interpretor. Thanks in advance!!! -- lkjfdlkg sdfklgnsh sflhgjfhlfg shlksgfgmljmdhgl;j,k'lj

I have gotten NNANSI to work. The problem you are having is that you have
the older version of Nansi. I have what is called NNANSI, it is a
modification to Nansi to support all screen sizes. (even works with 132x44)
NNANSI30.ZIP is the file I found it in. As for others, I haven't found any
that support weird screen sizes. (with the exception of PowerKit II's ANSI
module... different story) I am using Ms-Dos 3.30 and 4Dos 3.02a.

I know that NANSI does not work properly in 80x50 mode, which is why I switched to ZANSI. When I got ZANSI, in the ZIP file, there was a modified version called ZANSIEGA.SYS that handles any number of screen lines (not just 25 or 50, but any number, by checking the BIOS data area). This is nice when using programs like PC Magazine's FONTEDIT, which can create fonts that use strange numbers of lines. -Sanjay Aiyagari (hd7x@vax5.cit.cornell.edu)

This has 2 advantages: 1. It's a TSR so you can load, enable, disable or unload as needed, 2. It works with Desqview, because you have to load your ansi driver in the window. A third advantage, perhaps, is that you can reserve a variable amount of storage for the keyboard redefinition buffer. This can be 0 to inhibit it (Desqview can be used instead). Ansi.com is available from SIMTEL20 I beleive - look in the PCMAG or SCREEN section perhaps? I couldn't find it for sure in my archive.

I use ANSI.COM for all of my ansi needs. For me, the biggest advantage is that I also have the source code (so I can make it do some wierd things and support my non-standard screen sizes (45x90)) If anyone needs the source (for MASM or A86), feel free to drop me a line. I also have the source and binary for a program called ZENO.COM which speeds up BIOS access. Not as portable, doubt it wil work under deskview however, for the standard DOS system, it can give upto 130% screen access. -- --------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Jeremy J Starcher !

NNANSI 3.0 also comes with source code for MASM. I have run it with all of
the standard VGA screen sizes and it works perfectly. Shouldn't any work if
it just uses the BIOS $0040:???? bytes which contain the screen size.
