Graphics in Batch

[phillid]

I'm just wondering whether it is possible to have graphics in a batch file like in EDIT.exe

phillid

[!k]

Try ANSI.SYS

[phillid]

How do I use it?

[!k]

OS is XP? ANSI.SYS not worked under CMD.EXE
Add in CONFIG.NT next string

Code: Select all

device=%SystemRoot%\system32\ansi.sys

Then start ansi.sys demo

Code: Select all

command.com /c screen.bat

And must be

[phillid]

When I try that, it says that 'device' is not a command and that it can't find screen.bat

???

[!k]

code device=%SystemRoot%\system32\ansi.sys need not to perform, but to add it to your "%SystemRoot%\system32\CONFIG.NT" file

screen.bat is here

[phillid]

Hello. It still doesn't work.
It just prints the escape commands on-screen...

I've added the device command to config.nt

Have I missed a step?

Run command.com /c screen.bat?
cmd.exe /c screen.bat does not work!

Hi guys.

I'm virtually certain that command.com isn't available on a 64 bit OS (because 16 bit apps don't work on it). So you phillid should check it.
Here I attached a small tool I wrote in C++. You could try it. But I never got a reply if it would work on a 64 bit Windows OS too.

OK Cool!!! Thanks so much !k

aGerman, the program works absolutely fine on XP

I'll tell some my friends about these solutions, some of them have also been wondering how to do this too!


Thanks!
