ANSI is ASCII in this case.

Just save it as txt using the default ANSI encoding.

i am doing the same. actually i am trying to run a software called tagger using MS-DOS . this tagger tags the content of a text file which is in urdu language.some instructions are given for running this software using DOS. these are:

There are eight programs supplied in the “Software” directory. The only one is urduwrap, which makes a direct call to the Unitag system. This makes the process of tagging a file very easy for the user, as urduwrap sets all the options for you
To use Urduwrap to call the tagging system, put all the programs and text files in the “software” directory into the same directory as the files you wish to tag.

Then, from an MS-DOS command prompt, give the following command:

urduwrap list.txt

where list.txt (or whatever other filename you choose to use) is an ASCII text file containing a list of all the files to be tagged, one filename per line, and nothing else.All files to be tagged must be two-byte Unicode text.

i have created a directory called Check.its contains all the programs and two text files. one is aaa.txt (which contains the file name test.txt)and other is test.txt (which contains actual urdu text). when i am running this command from command prompt
C:\check>urduwrap aaa.txt
its giving me error: FILE <null> could not be opened. check file exist.
