Date Not Appearing - Caused By ANSI.SYS Devic |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: FYI: While in WP, the Date Text or the Date Code would not bring up a date. After removing the DEVICE=ANSI.SYS from the CONFIG.SYS file, rebooting, and re-entering WP, the Date Code and Date Text could be accessed. The ANSI.SYS driver is used to facilitate input/output (particularly keyboard input) with application software which uses DOS for this interface. WP, however, directly addresses the BIOS and has no need for ANSI.SYS. In fact, ANSI.SYS may often cause conflicts. In WP 5.0, WPCorp saw that ANSI.SYS would cause problems with View Document on some EGA cards, for example. These problems are hardware specific and not easy to duplicate. |
