 ANSI Console Escape Sequences
ANSI Escape codes have no effect unless ANSI.SYS has been installed via a DEVICE= command in CONFIG.SYS.
Note: Since you can't be certain that all computers have ANSI.SYS installed, most programmers do not rely on using these codes in commercial applications.
Just output the codes to the CON device (see Character I/O).

 ANSI.SYS
These uses were overshadowed by the use of ANSI.SYS in BBSes; ANSI escape codes were used to enable BBSes to send elaborate text graphics more elaborate than ASCII art, and to control the cursor in ways that were used in a number of online games and similar features.
Once loaded, ANSI.SYS enabled codes that changed the colors of the cursor and characters on the screen, or enabled software programs to move the cursor up or down lines, enabled blinking text, and similar text graphics features.
An interesting feature about ANSI.SYS was that it allowed for the remapping of any key on the keyboard in order to perform shortcuts or macros for complex instructions.

Before issuing and ANSI escape sequences, you must load the special device driver ANSI.SYS.
An ANSI escape sequence is a series of characters, beginning with the Escape character, used to define functions to MSDOS.

 ANSI.SYS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Once loaded, ANSI.SYS enabled codes that changed the colors of the cursor and characters on the screen, or enabled software programs to move the cursor up or down lines, enabled blinking text, and similar text graphics features.
It is partially based upon a subset of the text terminal control standard proposed by the ANSI X3L2 Technical Committee on Codes and Character Sets (the "X3 Committee").
Notable to this discussion is that you must modify CONFIG.NT (often in a folder C:\I386\ or C:\Windows\System32) in place of CONFIG.SYS]

 MS-DOS ansi.sys command help
The ANSI.SYS device driver supports ANSI terminal emulation of escape sequences to control your system’s screen and keyboard.
An ANSI escape sequence is a sequence of ASCII characters, the first two of which are the escape character (1Bh) and the left-bracket character (5Bh).
ANSI escape sequences distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters; for example "A" and "a" have completely different meanings.

 Smart Computing Article - Using & Fixing Config.sys File
Config.sys may also load the Ansi.sys device driver, which is a screen driver that controls cursor movement, screen color, and keyboard definitions and is required by some programs and some dial-up bulletin board systems (BBSes).
Config.sys is an ordinary text file stored in the root directory of a computer's boot drive, the drive on which the computer looks for its operating system.
If you have a Config.sys file but think something is wrong with it, one way of pinning down the problem is to tell DOS to prompt you before performing any Config.sys command.

 Ghost Sites of the Web: Where Dead Sites Live On... Where Web Disasters Are Still Fresh
Well, according to the Webopedia, this brief but important computer art movement owed its origin to the inclusion of a device driver called ANSI.SYS that was first bundled with MS-DOS 3.3.
Here, through clever use of a Java applet, 35 early ANSI works - many of them serving as the home pages of BBS systems - are easily accessible.

ANSI codes, including those that redefine keys, are sent over the lines, but most comm programs don't use ANSI.SYS; they use their own version of ANSI, which doesn't support key redefinition.
In ANSI everything is done with a system of escape codes.
Of course, ANSI bombing isn't as dangerous as a lot of people make it out to be, but bombs are still fun to make and with a little planning deliver some degree of success.

 ansi_dec_controls_news.txt
Unfortunately, the developers of these new systems consistently called their terminal drivers "ANSI", even though each differed from the other, and this has led to a great deal of confusion for current users of their systems (SCO ANSI is a case in point).
Be very careful with the term `ANSI emulation.' This is often used to refer to an emulation of the MSDOS ANSI.SYS driver, which is not particularly ANSI compliant, despite the name.
ANSI seems to be registered as a non-profit organization, but it historically has insisted on getting financial return for distributing its standards documents.

 How to Enable ANSI.SYS in a Command Window
ANSI.SYS can be loaded and used from the command prompt, with the restriction that it can run only in the context of the MS-DOS subsystem.
Once ANSI.SYS is loaded, you can use any MS-DOS-based program that makes use of this driver.
To load ANSI.SYS, add "device=c:\winnt\system32\ansi.sys" to the CONFIG.NT file in the Windows NT SYSTEM32 directory.

Answer: These are ASCII characters which appear if the DOS file, ANSI.SYS, hasn't been loaded.
If rebooting has no effect, be sure that the DOS file ANSI.SYS resides on your DOS disk (the root directory of hard disks).

 BdP : Win32::Console::ANSI
One can use the ansi.sys driver but only in the MS-DOS subsystem with the old COMMAND.COM, not with CMD.EXE (See the Microsoft Knowledge Base).
The module Win32::Console::ANSI (former Win32::ANSIConsole) emulate an ANSI console for the script which uses it.
Another solution would be to change the code page of the console: it is possible, but only if the console uses an Unicode police (See the Microsoft Knowledge Base).

 alt.comp.virus FAQ 2 - WAVCI
The term 'ANSI bomb' usually refers to a mail message or other text file that takes advantage of an 'enhancement' to the MS-DOS ANSI.SYS driver which allows keys to be redefined with an escape sequence, in this case to echo some potentially destructive command to the console.
In fact, few systems nowadays run programs which need ANSI terminal emulation to run, and there's no guarantee that the program reading the file would pass such an escape sequence unfiltered to the console anyway.

 Text user interface - Enpsychlopedia
On IBM PCs, the BIOS and MS-DOS system calls provide a way of writing text on the screen, and the ANSI.SYS driver could process standard ANSI escape sequences.
TUI ( Text User Interface) is a retronym that was coined sometime after the invention of graphical user interfaces, to distinguish them from text based user interfaces.
However, TUIs only use text and symbols available on a typical text terminal, while GUIs typically use high resolution graphics modes.

 Installing Sound Producer Pro Alters ANSI Escape Sequences (115283)
