Using nansi.sys vs ansi.sys under 4dos
I would like to use a dosemu screen with black letters on a bright white background.
I run dosemu 1.2.2.8 under Kubuntu linux (Feisty Fawn version) using 4dos as my command processor. This allows me to use my old favorite dos programs like SuperCalc, WordStar, Q&A and 4dos. Personally I date back to early CP/M days.
Under nansi.sys 4.0d I have the following problem in 4dos. My color directive is in 4dos.ini has the line
color black on bright white
to set the screen foreground black and background bright white.
However what happens is that the c:> has the correct bright white correct but the rest of the screen is a dirtyish grey. When I type characters after c:> all the chars on that line have a nice white background but the untyped part of every line is that dirty grey.
If I use ansi.sys from Windows 98SE, the screen is properly displayed with a bright white background. However I do not wish to use the proprietary ansi.sys.
Could anyone give me any information on getting a nice bright white background screen using either nansi.sys or nnansi.sys?
