- INTRODUCTION
-
- This program was written to allow non-techinical users to set the
- ANSI driver colors without having to remember complex escape codes.
- What the program does is allow you to select the foreground and
- background color scheme with BASIC color definitions and then
- convert them to ANSI driver code. After displaying the code, the
- program creates a file on the default disk and issues a DOS command
- to TYPE the file so the code becomes effective.
-
-
-
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS
-
- For this program to work you must have the ANSI driver running
- and DOS 2.0 or greater with COMMAND.COM on the boot disk.
-
- The people who have complained that this program does not work
- have all had the same problem: no COMMAND.COM on the boot
- disk. COMMAND.COM MUST be on the boot disk. The DOSCOL program
- creates a file on the disk with the ANSI code in it. Then,
- BASIC issues a SHELL command to "TYPE" the file so the code
- becomes active. The SHELL command requires COMMAND.COM to be
- on the boot disk.
-
- To run the ANSI driver, copy the file ANSI.SYS from your DOS
- disk into the root directory of your boot disk. Then create
- a file called CONFIG.SYS in the root directory. The CONFIG.SYS
- file should have the following command in it:
-
- DEVICE=ANSI.SYS
-
- This tells DOS to load the ANSI driver at boot time so you can
- use the DOS color program.

- SEND MONEY!
-
- This program was developed by an independent programmer sitting
- before a PC late at night. When I write these programs for
- Public Domain I always wonder if anyone uses them. If no one
- does I have no reason to write them. If you find this program
- to be of any value, drop me a line. Make me feel wanted.
- Out of the 12 programs submited for public use we have earned
- exactly $0.00. You can ma
