Try pulling out your original DOS diskette and copying ANSI.SYS to your
hard disk.  It probably isn't on your hard disk because you didn't copy it
over.  A good idea is to create a sub-directory called DOSx-x0 (replace
the x-x with 2-0 or 2-1 or 3-0 or 3-1).  Then copy both of your DOS diskettes
into that sub-directory.  Then add the following path to your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file:  d:\DOSx-x0

If you do the above, you will need to remove all of the DOS stuff from your
root directory.  Putting your DOS stuff into its own directory just makes
your hard disk a little bit cleaner looking.

If you don't have a path installed into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, then add this:
PATH d:\;d:\DOSx-x0

Of course, replace the d: with your hard disk drive letter, normally C:

In your CONFIG.SYS file you will need the following line:
DEVICE=d:\DOSx-x0\ANSI.SYS

The CONFIG.SYS file is placed in the root directory of your boot hard disk.
