  27. Hey, coulnd't you just ( assuming you guys and gals code in C ) :
  28.  
  29. union REGS regs;
  30.  
  31. regs.x.ax = 0x1010;
  32. regs.x.bh = <BORDER COLOR ENTRY NUMBER>;
  33. regs.x.dh = 0;    // Red
  34. regs.x.ch = 0;    // Green
  35. regs.x.cl = 0;    // Blue
  36. int86(0x10, ®s,®s);
  37.  
  38. This would set a pallet entry for the VGA/SVGA 256 color modes.
  39.  
  40. Off haand I don't know what the pallet number for the boreder color is, 
  41. but if you think this would work, I'll dig it (the pallet number) up.
