Note from Labtest Author:
ANSI.COM should be used instead of ANSI.SYS. Also, if you are running
Desqview, you must have ANSI.COM loaded in each Desqview window. You
any may use other ANSI.COM program, this one is provided as a
convenience.

µANSI V1.0
(c) 1989 by David Nugent & Unique Computing Pty Ltd.
µANSI is a TSR adaption of the ANSI.COM which originally appeared in
PC-Magazine. And it really doesn't need docs <grin>.
This version has major advantages over the original, in that it is DESQview
aware. It will run in any DESQview window on a 386 machine without problems
(haven't tried it on anything else, so I can't guarantee that it will run in
BIOS write windows on 286 or 88 based machines, though I would not
anticipate problems).
ANSI.COM has a number of advantages for DESQview users - it ocupies less
memory than DVANSI (1744 bytes as opposed to 2596 for DVANSI). It is also a
great deal faster than DVANSI.
One final item that may be of use to all users is that it does not allow for
keyboard redifinition, so there need be no fear of dangers lurking in ANSI
escape sequences in .ZIP file comments.
To load, simply enter "ANSI". Should you need to reclaim the memory that it
ocupies, "ANSI /U" will unload it.
Any shortcomings in the docs can be blamed on me (Paul Marwick, 3:640/820).
