Hello !

I have problems to have color under MS-DOS with Windows NT and Windows 2000
Professional. I added the line
"DEVICE=%SystemRoot%\system32\ansi.sys" in the c:\WINNT\system32\config.nt
file and it doens't work !!
Here is the contents of this file:

CONFIG.NT
--------------
dos=high, umb
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\ansi.sys
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
files=40

I made a perl script that uses color and I don't get color but the
corresponding codes.
I added the line "DEVICE=c:\Windows\command\ansi.sys" in the c:\config.sys
file with Windows98 and it works. So, why doesn't it work with Windows NT
and Windows 2000 ?

Thanks to answer me.
