- Here are 2 simple utilities for OS/2, distributed as FREEWARE.
- Pass them along without charge or guilt!
-
- """"""""""
- LINES2.EXE
-
- """"""""""
-
- This program will toggle a full screen OS/2 session from 24 to
- 43/50 line mode. It automatically detects which expanded line
- mode your system is capable of - 43 or 50 lines.
-
- LINES2 does NOT work in a window session - running it in a window
- session will cause screen flashing but no change.
-
-
- """"""""""
- COLOR2.EXE
-
- """"""""""
-
- This program lets you set the forground and background colors
- in an OS/2 full screen or OS/2 window session. To use it,
- type:
-
- color2 Fb
-
- where F = Foreground Color char [high (uppercase) or low intensity]
- b = Background Color char [low intensity only]
-
- You may capitalize the foreground letter ONLY to make the color
- bright (high intesity). Use the first letter of the color.
- Note that B is for blue, X is for black. Available colors are:
-
- Colors - x = Black X = High Intensity Black (grey)
- b = Blue B = " " Blue
- g = Green G = " " Green
- c = Cyan C = " " Cyan
- r = Red R = " " Red
- m = Magenta M = " " Magenta
- y = Orange Y = " " Yellow
- w = White W = " " White
-
- You can run this program in the command file that initializes your
- screen and window sessions (usually OS2INIT.CMD, but check the .CMD
- after the /k on the PROTSHELL line of your CONFIG.SYS file). That
- way, your colors are set automatically when you start a session.
-
- Note that the LINES2 program above does NOT work in a window session,
- so adding it to OS2INIT.CMD will cause screen flashing but no change.
