Hi, Karl. I wrote a little dos C program many years ago to set the screen colors. usage is Usage: ansicolo fg bg i Colors: blk 0 red 1 grn 2 yell 3 blu 4 mag 5 cya 6 wht 7 i is 0 for normal foreground, 1 for intensified You need to load ansi.c or vansi.c in your config.sys. I tried to attach the executable, but the list will not accept it. If you want it, it is on our ftp site: ftp://astro.princeton.edu/jeg/ansicolo/ansicolo.exe --jim gunn **************************************************************************** If you have a c compiler, the (almost trivial) source is #include <stdio.h> main(argc,argv) int argc; char **argv; { if(argc < 3){ printf("\nUsage: ansicolor fg bg i"); printf("\nColors: blk 0 red 1 grn 2 yell 3 blu 4 mag 5 cya 6 wht 7"); printf("\ni is 0 for normal foreground, 1 for intensified"); printf("\n"); }else{ printf("\033[0;3%s;4%sm",argv[1],argv[2]); if(argc == 4 && *argv[3] == '1') printf("\033[1m"); printf("\033[2J"); } } *************************************************************************** On Wed, 12 Apr 2006, Karl. wrote: > On Tue, Apr 11, 2006 at 05:12:43PM -0500, Larry Alkoff wrote: > > The 80x25 seems to be a default - don't know it it can be changed or > > not but 80x25 works well for me. > > You can change it within dosemu using the dos 'mode' command (perhaps > add it to your autoexec.bat) > > "mode co80,50" gets you colour, 80 columns, 50 rows. > number of rows can be 25, 28, 43, or 50 > > "mode /?" gets you help on other options > > A lot of software makes assumptions and only uses half the screen, but > there's a lot of software which works properly as well.
