WTCOLOR
The \/\/term Color Modifier
Version 1.10
05-03-92
by Tom Collins
\/\/hat?
--------
WTCOLOR is a cute little utility for modifying the screen
colors in WTERM, Walter Cox's communications package.
WTCOLOR provides a full-screen simulation of the WTERM setup
colors, and lets you easily modify 'em using just your cursor
keys and the RETURN key.
How /\/\uch?
------------
WTERM is a free (non-shareware) program. So is WTCOLOR. If
you like it, use it. If not, don't. I don't care.
Bugs?
-----
WTCOLOR has been extensively tested (for about ten minutes),
and is guaranteed to work on all computers in all
configurations without a single problem. If you find what
you think is a bug in the program, keep it to yourself.
How Do I Use It?
----------------
Put WTCOLOR.EXE somewhere on a disk. From the DOS command
line, type a command like this:
C:> WTCOLOR
This will cause WTCOLOR to read and write to a file called
WTERM.CFG in the current directory. If it's not there,
WTCOLOR will call your mother and have her tell you to get
your act together.
If you want to run WTCOLOR from a directory other than where
WTERM.CFG is, or you want to use a different .CFG file name,
try something like this:
C:> WTCOLOR MYWTERM.CFG
or
C:> WTCOLOR -CMYWTERM.CFG
(for compatibility with the WTERM command line mode)
The program will display a menu of things you can do. Use
the arrow keys and RETURN to select things, just like on
every other windowed package you've ever seen. When you're
done, select Quit and save the changes if you like 'em.
That's all there is to it.
\/\/hy did I write WTCOLOR?
---------------------------
Just because I thought it would be fun.
Source Code?
------------
WTCOLOR was written in Microsoft QuickC using the TCXL
windowing libraries, and you can have the source code. If
you pay me enough.
\/ersions
---------
WTCOLOR is released as a companion to WTERM, and will be
included in each new WTERM release. So far, we've had:
Version Date Why
------- ---------- -------------------------------------
1.05 07-04-90 First release
1.05a 07-08-90 Disallowed background color change
unless changing frame, as per \/\/'s
suggestion.
1.08 01-02-91 Revised code for the newer TCXL window
library. WTCOLOR is now bigger and
slower, but it looks a lot better (as
required by Microsoft technical
journal, WIN409T21, "MS Windows and
the Wave of the Future").
1.10 05-03-92 Recompiled with a less buggy windowing
library that doesn't cause WTCOLOR to hang
on XTs. Added mouse support for color
picking. Fixed "illegal near pointer" bug.
Added warning to C and M options for Kirby
Krieger, who suggested it.
Latest Releases
---------------
Unless WTCOLOR has some horrible, disk-eating bug and has to
be released separately, the latest WTCOLOR will be available
in the latest WTERM release.
Final Comments
--------------
None, thanks.
