Now that THAT'S been said...
This program really serves no purpose of profound implications. It's very
basic. What it does is to allow you to change the font color of screen
print commands from the GEM desktop. That's it. It will only work if you
run it from the GEM desktop and then, after double-clicking on a TEXT
filename,select SHOW. It will not work anywhere else (as far as I know).
It will also be over-ridden by any program you run, so you will need to
run it again from the GEM desktop to re-install it. It takes up no memory
so don't worry. So why did I create this program..? I have no idea !
Maybe it can be used as a tutorial for GFA beginners...
This archive MUST contain the following files...
COLORTXT.PRG --> The compiled program.
COLORTXT.LST --> The source code in ASCII format.
COLORTXT.DOC --> The doc you're currently reading.
LOW & MEDIUM resolution
-----------------------
Run the program. Select the number which corresponds to the text colour
you'd like and press the <RETURN> key. The SHOW feature of the GEM desktop
will now print all text to the screen in the colour you have chosen.
HIGH resolution
---------------
Same deal, except the text will be printed as either Black letters on a
White background or White letters on a black background.
The Source code is not particularly efficient in terms of structure, but
it gets the job done (and it's short enough anyway).
Enjoy !
