Modify your config.nt file to include the following:
device=c:\winnt40\system32\ansi.sys
Assuming of course you installed Windows NT in the C:\winnt40.
Caution - make sure you are using the ansi.sys provided with Windows NT and
not the one from MSDOS or Windows/Windows 95. Windows NT does NOT have a
DOS subsystem the way Windows 95 does and attempting to use DOS device
drivers (like ANSI.SYS from those operating systems) will certainly cause
you problems.
Also any systems which will run your program will also have to have this
modification made.
