   Yes. First, disable DosBox's built in ANSI support. If the preferred ANSI   
   program is a device driver (i.e. a SYS file; or an EXE but must be loaded as   
   a device driver), it can be loaded using one of below device driver loader   
   tools:   
      
   - DEVLOAD from FreeDOS.   
      
   - DYNALOAD from PC-DOS 7+.   
      
   - SETDRV from PTS-DOS.   
      
   - CTLOAD. I can't remember its origin, but Google suggest it's from one of   
   Creative Labs' SoundBlaster driver/application package.   
      
   And a bunch more. You can find it using the correct search query.   
      
   Some loaders may not be compatible with a specific device driver, so get and   
   keep all of the tools.   
      
   If the preferred ANSI program is not a device driver, it can be simply run   
   from the command line.   
      
   To load it automatically, load it from DosBox's AUTOEXEC configuration. See   
   DosBox's sample configuration file, or DosBox's documentation.
