-
- These files work with the DOS file ANSI.SYS. You must have
- the line DEVICE=ANSI.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS file.
-
- You must run ANSICOLR or ANSINORM from the command line
- or in a batch file the first time you execute it.
-
- This is what the two files ANSICOLR.COM and ANSINORM.COM do.
-
- 1. ANSICOLR changes the character attribute used by ANSI.SYS to
- white letters on a blue background. You can change
- the colors to whatever you like in ANSICOLR.ASM
- and then re-assemble it.
-
- 2. It then clears the screen with the new colors.
-
- 3. Then it assigns SHIFT-F9 to run ANSINORM.COM and
- SHIFT-F10 is assigned to run ANSICOLR.COM. This allows
- you to change from the normal white letters on a black
- background to whatever colors are set it ANSICOLR.COM.
- ** There is a problem with this in that the keys stay **
- ** assigned in some programs that you may run. You can take **
- ** out the flagged lines in both .ASM listings to get rid **
- ** of the automatic running of these programs. **
-
-
- 4. ANSINORM.COM just sets the character attribute back
- to the normal white letters on a black background.
