I use 4dos a free command.com emulator which has many more functions than command.com.

It has the ability to display a directory listing in color, similar
to what happen with --color=auto in an xterm.

Can anyone help me to get color in an xdosemu terminal?

If I remember correctly, you need to load ansi.sys in config.sys so
4dos is able to use colors. Sorry if you already tried that.



Damyan thank you very much.  Problem solved.

I had been loading nansi.sys which comes with freedos in config.sys. It was obviously doing something but no color.

Your email prompted me to dig up an old copy of ansi.sys and _that_ worked right off the bat!

I'm so happy to finally have color.

Gratefully,
Larry
