This is exactly the problem that will be fixed in the next "release".

I would like to know if anyone with other than a Paradise card is
having problems with nnansi.sys other than:

1). loosing lines of text with some programs unless CLS is executed first.
2). Funny graphic cursor ghosts (Solution GCOFF.BAT, or compile driver with
    graphic cursor off). I plan to fix the initial ghost upon switching
    to graphic mode.
3). Sometimes funny colors of characters in graphic mode (caused by programs
    using BIOS calls confilicting with ANSI modes when NNANSI compiled with
    takeBIOS EQU TRUE.
