This is just a small batch file using Ansi Escape codes That will put a nice little Cross at the DOS prompt. You must, of course, have an ansi driver installed in your system. The most common way is a line in your config.sys file: DEVICE=ANSI.SYS with the ANSI.SYS file being present in the directory you boot from. Kevin Cummins Sysop of: Crimson Cross BBS (618) 253-3608
