PKSFANSI [/c]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Purpose:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
PKSFANSI (PK Safe ANSI) is a Terminate and Stay Resident program
|
|||
|
|
that disables ANSI Keyboard Key Reassignments, thereby preventing
|
|||
|
|
'ANSI bombs' embedded in any text file (such as README files) or
|
|||
|
|
output by any program.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Normally, ANSI sequences that redefine the keyboard could be
|
|||
|
|
hidden inside ANY text file or program, and could be executed
|
|||
|
|
completely unnoticed until it is too late. PKSFANSI intercepts
|
|||
|
|
calls to ANSI.SYS or other ANSI device drivers, and filters out
|
|||
|
|
any keyboard reassignments, while allowing other ANSI sequences
|
|||
|
|
through unaltered.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If a keyboard key reassignment is attempted, PKSFANSI will
|
|||
|
|
intercept the sequence and discard it. PKSFANSI also will BEEP
|
|||
|
|
to alert you that a reassignment was attempted.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
PKSFANSI requires only 832 bytes resident RAM, and should work
|
|||
|
|
with any ANSI driver, such as the standard ANSI.SYS driver,
|
|||
|
|
NANSI, ZANSI, DVANSI, etc. Note that if you use a memory
|
|||
|
|
resident ANSI driver, such as the DESQview DVANSI.COM driver,
|
|||
|
|
that PKSFANSI should be loaded AFTER the ANSI driver is loaded.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The /c switch causes PKSFANSI to discard any ANSI sequences
|
|||
|
|
that would change the colour of your screen. This is especially
|
|||
|
|
useful on LCD, black & white, and monochrome monitors to prevent
|
|||
|
|
ANSI files from changing the screen colours.
