PROCOMM used other INT 10 calls to set the character attributes in the command window to the color that it wanted the characters to be. There are different INT 10 calls that are used to put up the characters that are correct. The solution is to recompile NNANSI with "takeBIOS equ FALSE". -- Mark Armbrust maa@nbires.nbi.com maa@nbires.UUCP
