- This archieve should contain ANSIPAT.EXE and this doc file ANSIPAT.DOC
-
- The purpose of ANSIPAT.EXE is to patch your ANSI.SYS so that it will do a
- BIOS call instead of a direct screen write, making it more compatible with
- DOORWAY, when DOORWAY is operating in BIOS (non-direct screen) mode.
- Although the /L: will work properly about 95% of the time, this patch, if it
- installs, will work 100% of the time. You will need to run this program in
- the subdirectory that your ANSI.SYS, which get loaded at boot time, resides
- in. It will copy ANSI.SYS over to ANSI.BAK then search the ANSI.SYS for the
- code which typically scrolls the screen. If it finds it, it will replace it
- with the appropriate screen scroll BIOS call. If it doesn't find the
- appropriate code, it will not change ANSI.SYS. Note that you will have to
- reboot the computer for the new ANSI.SYS to take effect.
-
- However, I highly recommend using PC Magazines ANSI.COM in SLOW mode instead.
- It works perfectly with DOORWAY, and can be switched to FAST mode at will,
- for screen updates which are much faster than using ANSI.SYS. It is
- available from Data World BBS as ANSI_12.ZIP.
