Hi,
I have a certain application that doesn't require ANSI.sys othewise it won't run. Are there any proper ways to disable ansi.sys while not having to re-compiling dosbox?
Thanks
Jack

I doubt the application can detect our ansi emulation 😀

Thanks Qbix for your quick response. The application runs by reading 16-bit wide characters, then displays them on the monitor. There are some escape sequences that allow the program to switch between languages. If I enable ANSI.SYS, I reckon these sequences will not operate correctly. I tried it once to run it under boot image, without ANSI.SYS. And it went fine. So the applet can be a problem. Thanks
Jack

the code that writes to the screen doesn't call interrupt 10 as much as it would happen in real dos.
Doubt that the program will work in dosbox even with ansi disabled. Unless you boot real dos inside dosbox.
