ID:AN Programs Requiring ANSI.SYS in DV
Quarterdeck Technical Note
by Stan Young
While you may load the ANSI driver in your CONFIG.SYS file, the
ANSI driver is not accessable to programs running in DESQview due
to the way ANSI is written.
Therefore, DESQview provides a replacement ANSI driver called
DVANSI.COM. You should try loading this program in the window
before loading the program you are having the problem with.
The easiest way to do this is to create a DOS batch file called
START.BAT that has as the first line DVANSI and as the second
line the command normally used to start your program. Assuming
the program was called "MYPROG" the batch file would read like
this:
DVANSI
MYPROG {with a blank line after MYPROG}
Then put this batch file in the directory where you normally
start the program and run Change a Program and set the option
marked "Program:" to run the batch file (START). Then when the
window is opened, the batch file will load DVANSI and then the
program.
If you require the loading of special ANSI drivers, or would
perfer to use DOS's ANSI driver and you are running DESQview
version 2.2 or greater, there is a program (DEVICE.COM) on the
DESQview disk that will allow this. To load the DOS ANSI driver
using DEVICE.COM, assuming the driver was in the C:\DOS
directory, your batch file would look as follows:
DEVICE C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
MYPROG
If you need further help in creating batch files, consult your
DOS manual.
