Hi,
I hope this is the right section (if not I'm sorry).

I have some problems displaying ANSI characters in MS-DOS 5.0 running inside DOSBox.
For example, if I run DOSMid in DOSBox I see this:

DOSBOX.png

In MS-DOS installed inside DOSBox, I see this:

MS-DOS.png

The same applies with ANSI characters in batch menus.
I tried adding DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS /X in CONFIG.SYS but it didn't solve the problem.
Is there something I can do to display those characters?
Maybe it's very simple to correct but I really don't know how to do it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

It seems a CP problem...

Thank you very much.
So I just have to change the codepage in my dosbox.conf, right?
I'm a newbie, forgive my ignorance.

Well, the problem was in the MS-DOS codepage, I solved it using this guide:

I was looking at the wrong direction, thank you guys for your precious help.

I wonder if you can't just run the MSDOS command file inside dosbox, if that would fix it?
