Running a program that needs ANSI.SYS under Windows NT is a hassle, but it can be done. My AdaTutor program is one such program, and, while it's easy to install ANSI.SYS for Windows 95, several customers called me because of difficulty running the program under Windows NT. (BTW, we're working on a Windows version, to be called AdaEase, which of course won't need ANSI.SYS). Here are the steps to follow: 1. Make a subdirectory and copy your executable and all related files to it. 2. Copy CONFIG.NT to this directory from C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG.NT. 3. Edit the copy of CONFIG.NT in this directory, adding the line device=C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\ANSI.SYS 4. Right click on the icon for the executable file. 5. Click Properties, then click the Program tab. 6. Click the button at the bottom that says Windows NT ... 7. Change the Config filename to the CONFIG.NT file in this directory. For example, if this directory is C:\TEMP, change the Config filename to C:\TEMP\CONFIG.NT. 8. Double click the icon for the executable file to run the program. It's a mess compared to doing the same thing with Windows 95, but it can be done. - John Herro You can download a shareware AdaTutor program at http://members.aol.com/AdaTutor
