     ZANSI copyright (C) 1986, Thomas Hanlin III.  Refer any problems to me
at the above address.

     This is the Zephyr ANSI driver, based on Daniel Kegel's excellent ANSI
driver, NANSI (version 2.2).  ZANSI is faster than NANSI and takes up less
memory and disk space.  However, ZANSI is slightly less powerful, as it is
missing the nonstandard character translation handler provided with NANSI.

     Distribution policy follows Mr. Kegel's rules: ZANSI may be distributed
for educational and personal use only.  Commercial use is forbidden.  If you
need such a product for commercial applications, please contact Mr. Kegel
about his program, NANSI.  He may be contacted at the following address:

     ZANSI replaces whatever ANSI driver you currently have installed (if
any).  To use it, you should copy ZANSI.SYS to the root directory of the
disk(s) you use to boot up (start) your computer.  You must also have the
following line in the file CONFIG.SYS in the root directory of your boot
disk: DEVICE=ZANSI.SYS

     If you have DEVICE=ANSI.SYS or DEVICE=NANSI.SYS, you must remove it
before the DEVICE=ZANSI.SYS line.

     If this isn't clear to you, please consult your DOS manual.

Print speed comparisons, with normal text:


     ANSI  is   8.3%  faster than no device driver.

     NANSI is  22.6%  faster than no device driver,
           or  15.6%  faster than ANSI.

     ZANSI is  27.5%  faster than no device driver,
           or  20.9%  faster than ANSI,
           or   6.3%  faster than NANSI.


Memory requirement comparisons:

  No driver:     0  bytes
  ANSI     :  1536  bytes
  NANSI    :  3200  bytes
  ZANSI    :  2816  bytes

     Assembly language programmers:  The source code to ZANSI is included.
To create a working copy of ZANSI.SYS, you need to do the following:

 MASM ZANSI;
 MASM ZANSI_P;
 MASM ZANSI_F;
 MASM ZANSI_I;
 LINK ZANSI+ZANSI_P+ZANSI_F+ZANSI_I;
 EXE2BIN NANSI NANSI.SYS

     You can ignore the "no stack" warning error produced by LINK.
