Well it's either going to be easy for you, or a total pain in the ...

One way to get it to work:

1 - Make a DOS boot floppy on a Win 98 machine (call this a:)
2 - copy ansi.sys from c:\windows\command\ansi.sys to a:
3 - create a config.sys file with the line (no quotes): "device = ansi.sys"
4 - download and copy capagnu.exe to a:
5 - reboot your computer with this floppy and type capagnu

There may be other ways to do it, but with this method you can probably play on
