AURORA.EXE
Command
Purpose: Sets color attributes on color graphic card
Format: (1) Aurora
or
(2) Aurora [Background Foreground Border]
Type: Internal External
**
Remarks: Aurora Borealis is a screen color attribute utility
which is used to assign foreground, background and
border colors for RGB monitors. Version 2.10 will work
properly on both a PC or a PCjr.
IT REQUIRES THAT ANSI.SYS BE INSTALLED
The major advantage of Aurora is that it can be
used for user friendly menu selection (Format 1),
and can be used as a command line processor for use in
batch files (Format 2).
Color selection is by number:
[1] - Blue [5] - Magenta
[2] - Green [6] - Yellow
[3] - Cyan [7] - White
[4] - Red [8] - Black
To get the "light" shade of the same color, add 10 when
you enter the corresponding color. For example, to get
light blue, the color would be 11.
Entering a "0" will bypass the attribute selection.
Examples:
1) This example will call call up the complete user
friendly selection menu:
A>AURORA
2) This example will assign a background of blue,
a foreground of bright yellow, and a border of cyan:
A>AURORA 1 16 3
