ansi.sys driver not loaded?

hi,

I have a c++ program in wxp pro that outputs some formatted data on the
console using printf. I want to use the ansi escape sequences such as
printf("\033") to clear the screen.

I added the following line in my c:\windows\system32\config.nt file:

device=c:\windows\system32\ansi.sys

and restarted but apparently nothing changed.

Does someone can help me?
how can I verify if the driver is correctly loaded?

thanks in advance,
g.

Believe you need to use command.com instead of CMD for it to work.

thanks for the reply. I would like to ask you some more details.

how do I impose to a c++ application to run a command.com shell instead
of a cmd?

thanks,

? if it won't run under command.com try a Third Party, Dosbox
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1

I use it for older dos stuff.
