Current version (0.2) uses the DISPLAY interrupt and ignores any other driver. I have a working 0.3 version that checks for DISPLAY's version: if it is < 1.0, uses the interrupt for display and then generic IOCTL for the rest of char drivers; if it is >= 1.0, uses IOCTL for everything. I plan to release it very soon. > PS: By the way, Eric, the NANSI bug is still open, and when DISPLAY > 1.0 comes to light it might prevent DISPLAY.SYS and NLSFUNC to work > properly. I reproduced the bug with MS-DOS. Eric, I sent you a fix long ago. Do you want me to re-send?
