  30. Hey, coulnd't you just ( assuming you guys and gals code in C ) :
  31.  
  32. union REGS regs;
  33.  
  34. regs.x.ax = 0x1010;
  35. regs.x.bh = <BORDER COLOR ENTRY NUMBER>;
  36. regs.x.dh = 0;    // Red
  37. regs.x.ch = 0;    // Green
  38. regs.x.cl = 0;    // Blue
  39. int86(0x10, ®s,®s);
  40.  
  41. This would set a pallet entry for the VGA/SVGA 256 color modes.
  42.  
  43. Off haand I don't know what the pallet number for the boreder color is, 
  44. but if you think this would work, I'll dig it (the pallet number) up.
