- ANSI.SYS
- A device driver with extended screen and keyboard features
- See also <DEVICE> <CONFIG.SYS>
-
- COMMAND TYPE: External VERSION: 2.0 and up
-
- USE: DEVICE = ANSI.SYS [/X]
-
- This device driver allows screen output via DOS calls to make use of
- ansi standard escape sequences to manipulate the screen. This allows
- programs to perform full screen display management without needing to
- manipulate the video memory directly. It is useful for running
- programs developed on terminal-based computers (such as unix systems).
- The keyboard may also be remapped so that a keypress can generate any
- desired sequence of characters. By default, no key mapping is done.
- Most commercial software does NOT require this driver to be loaded.
-
- /X (version 4.0) allows the duplicate function keys on the 101-key
- extended keyboards to be remapped separately, otherwise they are
- considered identical.
-
- NOTE: The ANSI.SYS device driver must be placed in the <CONFIG.SYS> file
- and be used in conjunction with the <DEVICE> = DRIVER command.
