| I have some old Infocom interactive text-based games (remember Zork?) I
| dug out yesterday and they run in a command window except they use ansi
|   escape codes for screen and text coloring and without ansi.sys loaded
| each line of text is preceded by the ansi codes, making it a bit hard to
| read.
|
| I tried adding device=ansi.sys to config.nt but it did not work.
|
| Any ideas?
|
| Thanks
