Ray - I was unable to email directly to you so I am posting my reponse here.
I use fansi console as a replacement for ansi.sys. It provides many things
including:- increased type ahead buffer
- faster screen writes
- screen blanking or saving to avoid screen burn in
- scroll back and scroll lock
I got fansi console from a bulletin board at (812)824-7990. You may want
to try to find it on a bulletin board near you. It comes in two files:
fconsole.arc (programs) and fcondoc.arc (documentation). The files are
both larger than 100K! A disadvantage is that you don't get full
documentation with that (you have to send the program author $50.00
to get the full documentation). I was able to use it without the
full documeatation (but I plan to send him the $50.00 if I continue
to use the program).
I have not used it, but there is a ram disk program called membrain
that has gotten some good reviews.
When you compile a summary of these responses, please post it to the
net or send it to me directly.
