Does anyone have a utility for use under 386/ix that sets the color on the console like the SCO "setcolor" utility?

Please post, I am interested too. By the way, is there a good book about programming VGA under sysv3 unix. Chien Chen

Here's one inspired by SCO setcolor I whipped up awhile back. It's not very well written nor has lots-o-features but you get the source and may help you.

Yes. Dell UNIX (which is 386/ix based) has a setcolor program, which lets you change colors, and set cursor size and change the pitch and duration of the "bell" character.

What was the definitive ;-) answer on how to set ofrground and background colors under ISC that would hopefully run that way INSIDE other programs? (I am thinking about writing something to just blast the RGB definition of WHITE and BLACK in the VGA card pallet and let curses think what it wants.) ========[ Xanadu Enterprises Inc.
