ok, i ultimately solved the problem of ansi.sys not being allowed on WinME
by formatting and installing Win98... which i guess i will be using for
the duration of studying Ada... so much for the whole 'ada is great
because of its compatibilty' line.

Apparently microsoft deliberately removed real mode capabilities from
WinME.  This is the difference between it and 98.  The spoils of this
move...?  a WinME computer boots up 4 seconds faster than a 98
