in reply to Re: curses on win32
in thread curses on win32

well, i found that i had the ansi.sys file in C:\WINNT\system32\, so i added that to my config.sys like so: 
device=C:\WINNT\system32\ansi.sys

[download]

this really didnt seem to do anything, but i rebooted the computer, and tried the curses.ppd again.

and again, i got the mess of symbols when i tried to run the ppd file... did i do something wrong?

thanks

    When I said that "Google is your friend," I was suggesting you try searching for some published help regarding ANSI.SYS and Windows. DOS and Windows 95 work differently from Windows 2000. I don't know Windows XP differences because I don't use Microsoft products these days.

    This link, listed on the first google results page, appears useful. http://is-it-true.org/nt/utips/utips181.shtml
