   Hello,  I just recently got a copy of Fansi Console V2.0 for my
PC clone, and when I went to install it, I found that it hangs the
machine.  The machine boots just fine, it comes up with the header,
runs through the AUTOEXEC.BAT (or produces the enter date message
if I try to run it without an AUTOEXEC), with no problems, runs
whatever programs I put into the AUTOEXEC, but won't read the keyboard.
When it gets to the point where it requires user input, the program
just stops, and waits, and nothing will get it going again (not even
Cntl-Alt-Del will do anything).  This is the first time I have ever
seen anything quite like this, any other program that I have ever found
to hang the machine beond the 'help' of a 'Cntl-Alt-Del', has also
stopped the clock that I have running in the corner of the screen,
but this doesn't.

   The system I have is:
IBS PC  (2floppies, and a 20Meg Hard drive),
an AST 6pack clone, with full memory expansion installed (640K total),
Tecmar Graphics Master card (configured as a CGA), with matching
      monitor,
NEC V20 CPU.

With the exception of the V20, this is almost identical to the system
that the documentation says they use for their development work, and
I have an old version (1.07), that works just fine.  I have never
knoticed any compatablity problems with my machine, except LoadRunner,
which just spins the drive when I try to boot it (with both a V20,
and an 8088).  If anyone has any suggestions at all, I would really
like to hear them, because V2.0 seems to be pretty nice, and I would
really like to try it.  Alternately if anyone has any intermidiate
versions I could try, I would like to try them, so I can if nothing
else get a version that is somewhere in between.

                      Thanks,

                      S. John Banner
