   Add the following to your config.sys:   
      
                      DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\ANSI.SYS   
      
    JD> No external programs/dos programs errored out with usual not an    
    JD> os2 application message. So frontdoor works, and spitfire works.   
      
   I asked you this in NetMail a few mintues ago, but I'm going to ask again here   
   in the Echo; Are your versions of FD and Spitfire DOS or OS/2?  And indeed,   
   we're wandering off-topic with this thread.  Perhaps it should be continued in   
   either OS/2 or COMP-OS2-MISC.    
      
    JD> one step at a time...   
      
   Best way!   
      
   Best regards,   
   Marc
