    ANSI.SYS Windows XP SP3

     
    I have an old program that needs to run under XP in a DOS window now.
    It uses ANSI escape sequences . The program as such starts but is unuseable because of the escape equences don't work.

    I tried to load c:\windows\system32\ansi.sys in CONFIG.NT , I also tried ANSI.COM by Michael J. Mefford by starting c:\windows\system32\COMMAND.COM

    Does anyone have 'good old ANSI.SYS' (or an alternative) running under XP SP3, if so : what should I do to make it work for me as well?

    Here's something that seems to apply

    Found something that seems to address your situation at:

    Command Interpreter Ansi Support

    Do the suggestions at the above link match what you have already done?
    Any other information you can provide?
