Hi!

Rob Matson's iridflar and Skymap 6.4 programs require that you install
ansi.sys for screen formatting e.g. color. I've managed that under
Windows 9x & Win2000 Pro.

I just got a Windows ME PC at home & am having problems! The path to
ansi.sys is c:\windows\command\ansi.sys .

If I put the line:
device=c:\windows\command\ansi.sys
in c:\config.sys and reboot, Windows ME detects that the file has been
changed and replaces my config.sys by an empty config.sys!

If I put the same line in c:\config.dos and reboot, Windows leaves the
file alone, but iridflar and Skymap don't see ansi.sys.

Help!

Best wishes, Mark
