I've received so many postings to use ANSI and no other solutions (that I can
use), so I suppose I have to use ANSI. Which leads to my next question:
I know I can detect ANSI driver by comparing an interrupt's and the CON
device's segment addresses (I think). But is this reliable? Are there any
other programs aside from ANSI that act as the CON device?

Anyway, thanks for all those who have replied to my question.
