I know that it's possible to change the border (the area at the edges of the screen, outside of where any text appears) color on the EGA. Does anyone have a code sequence that does this? -- Jon Zeeff Branch Technology, uunet!umix!b-tech!zeeff zeeff%b-tech.uucp@umix.cc.umich.edu

In theory there is a BBS at (212) 696-0360 for the PC Magazine's Interactive Reader Service and in theory the programs that may set the EGA border exist on this BBS but I have never been able to get on this BBS to confirm. In any case the software is fairly well documented (source etc) in the article "Exploring The EGA, Part I" in PC Magizine's Aug 1986 issue specifically on pages 378 through 384. In summary it involves some simple hacking on the EGA hardware registers and while I personally have not tried it it looks fairly straight forward (but then again I'm a bit of a EGA hacker also).
