I know that NANSI does not work properly in 80x50 mode, which is why I switched
to ZANSI.  When I got ZANSI, in the ZIP file, there was a modified version
called ZANSIEGA.SYS that handles any number of screen lines (not just 25 or 50,
but any number, by checking the BIOS data area).  This is nice when using
programs like PC Magazine's FONTEDIT, which can create fonts that use strange
numbers of lines.
