[comp.lang.pascal] High Intensity Background Colors

konopka@ils.nwu.edu (Ray Konopka) (06/11/90)

I am a user of Turbo Pascal v5.5 and I would like to be able to change
the meaning of the high bit of the TextAttr byte.  Instead of causing the
text to blink when the high bit is set, I would like to be able to display
high intensity background colors.

In PCTOOLS the user is given the option to do this.  This is nice because 
it allows windows with white or yellow backgrounds to be displayed.  Any
information regarding the use of the TextAttr byte would be appreciated.

Thanks,
