Well to simplify matters, I ported the test to a simple NASM program. It displays Supported or Not and returns errorlevel 1 if not found. I did a quick check on the PentiumPro under MS-DOS 6.22 + ANSI.SYS, it says supported. Rebooted the PentiumPro under FreeDOS 1.3 + NANSI.SYS, it says NOT supported. Generally, I would not include an attachment. However, this is a tiny zip and includes the test source, build scripts and the compiled version.
ANSITEST.7z
Description: Binary data
The problem could possibly be one of the other drivers and may not be NANSI itself. Further testing will be needed starting with a KERNEL + COMMAND + NANSI only boot. :-) Jerome
