NANSI.SYS
=========
This archive contains the binaries for NANSI.SYS in 4 possible
configurations. Also included is DEMO.EXE that illustrates the speed
difference the NANSI.SYS driver permits if your programs use the "RAW"
mode when writing to the "con" device. Source for the demo is in
rawtest.c and setraw.c. Also included is an example .asm file showing
the method to set/unset raw mode from assembly language programs.
Sources for NANSI.SYS can be found in another archive NANSINU2.ARC. The
sources are not needed to use NANSI.SYS - all 4 possible configurations
are included in this archive - but they may be of interest to assembly
language programmers wanting to modify NANSI for their own use.
The 4 nansi.sys files are named as follows, with the features included
in each version after the name. Select the one you deem best, rename it
to NANSI.SYS and install it via the line DEVICE=NANSI.SYS in your
config.sys file. Remove any DEVICE=ANSI.SYS line if it exists.
NANS88.SYS For most machines - does not take over BIOS
write tty function, or use extended CPU inst.
NANS88B.SYS Same as above but DOES take over the write tty
function.
NANS286.SYS This version uses the expanded instructions
avail on the 80186, 80286, and the NEC series
chips. It doen't take over the write tty
function.
NANS286B.SYS Same as NANS286 but DOES take over write tty
function.
