<>The recently posted NNANSY.SYS set has a couple of problems that I noticed.

Yet another ME TOO! posting.

I have a 386sx clone, with a Paradise VGA 16+ card.  Normally, I use VANSI.SYS
which is derived from an older version of NANSI.SYS.   This works like a dream,
except that is is much slower than ZANSI/NNANSI..

But at least it works reliably!

NNANSI.SYS does funny stuff with the cursor on my system.  In ANY text mode,
the cursor stays at the right of the screen, near the bottom, while I type 
elsewhere.  When I backspace, though, the cursor goes to the probper place,
until I type something else.  I was unable to get rid of this behaviour by
playing with the numerous assembly options.

Another annoyance, particularly visible with ELVIS, is that it does not use
the proper attributes when writing text.  I looked through the code and 
managed to find/fix this bug.

Nice package anyway.. two releases ago it DID work on my system, but not for 
the most recent two.  VANSI.SYS works great, except for the speed.
