	If you are using an MS-DOS system, add the following line to your 
CONFIG.SYS:
C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS

Then... From the dos prompt type:
TYPE filename.ext

filename.ext = The filename and extension of the file that you want to 
view. Most ANSI files are saved as "filename.ANS"

	If you're not running MS-DOS, I can't help you other than to tell 
you to switch to MS-DOS if possible on your machine. :)
