[comp.unix.xenix] Getting current colors from SCO video driver

wht@tridom.uucp (Warren Tucker) (07/11/89)

RTFM as I may, I haven't been able to discover how to obtain the
current foreground and background normal and reverse colors from
the video driver.  setcolor(1) is able to do this somehow, since
it goes through its genre and when your shell prompt comes back,
the colors have been reset to those before executing the program.
There seems to be an ioctl for everything else.  Maybe there is
a page missing from my manual :-).

Anybody got a clue?  I suspect there are a lot of people who know
the answer, so please mail and I'' post the answer.  Thanks.
