The problem is that NNANSI uses the "multiple screen pages" as one large page which it scrolls -- thus its fast performance. You can compile NNANSI with FAST=0. Then CodeView (and some other programs) will work, but you loose most of the performance advantages. I'm working on improvements to NNANSI, and have found some strange problems (that were even in NANSI) -- adding declarations at the beginning of the code causes it to crash (???) and the system crashes when using 386/MAX, attempting to load the driver in high memory. Improvments: 1. Option to compile without keyboard remapping (this ansi.sys feature is apparently used by some Trojan Horse programs). 2. Improved performance in graphic mode 3. Hook to allow proper operation with Paradise VGA cards, and others that set the display mode byte "wrong" when in high resolution character modes.
