I have been using dvivga for some time on an 80386 MSDOS system. Recently,
I installed demacs and in order to get demacs to display the full screen,
I had to install ANSI.SYS in my config.sys file. All of a sudden, I found
that I could no longer use the numeric keypad or the arrow keys when
using dvivga. I looked around on my disk and found another file called
TANSI.SYS (Trident ANSI.SYS) and found that it worked with demacs and
also let me use the arrow keys and numeric keypad with dvivga.

Today I suddenly noticed that I could no longer use the numeric kepyad
and arrow keys with dvivga, even with TANSI.SYS. So I am in the position
of having to choose between DVIVGA and DEMACS. 

When I had the problem earlier, I found that it also happened with CDVI,
a previewer I found at wuarchive.wustl.edu. So I gather that it is some
kind of hardware problem.

If anyone has had similar experiences and knows what to do about it, please
let me know.
