Cool. Looks like that is essentially listing DEVICE=ANSI.SYS in config.nt? Google results imply some things about 16-bit emulation here -- was that post about running actual DOS ANSI.SYS in a VDM running actual DOS COMMAND.COM, within a native Windows terminal?

IIRC, the command.com only bootstrap the ANSI coloring, after that you can run anything in cmd.exe
