ANSI C/DOS escape sequences in Win XP

Comment:

I program "industrial controllers" in ANSI C using Visual C++ 6.0. The programs run in a DOS window and use ASCII/ANSI DOS Escape Sequences for cursor locations, colors, etc. In Win98, after adding device=c:\windows\system\ansi.sys to the config.sys file, everything runs fine. However in XP, I am unable to get it to recognize the Escape Sequences. I am assuming that this is due to the fact that XP does not run on top of DOS. Does anyone know of a work around?

try editing the properties on command prompt first by find target then ficht click on cmd.exe also try using the handy compatability wizard for help goto "help" and use the search it really helps
