This is a basic program from PC WORLD magazine (July 86) which
will allow you to set the colors that Lotus Version 2 uses for
background, foreground, cursor, etc.
Before you try this, you should make a copy of the 123.SET file,
as this program will modify it. You will be asked if you have a
backup and if you response is not yes, program will stop.
Copy your 123.SET file onto the same disk or directory as the
123COLOR.BAS program and type BASIC 123COLOR. This assumes that
you have BASIC.COM on the same disk or a path has been provided.
You will be asked for colors you want for the foreground,
background, borders, cursor, and unprotected areas. The following
codes are used to designate color:
0 - Black 6 - Brown C - Light red
1 - Blue 7 - White D - Light magenta
2 - Green 8 - Gray E - Yellow
3 - Cyan 9 - Light blue F - Bright white
4 - Red A - Light green
5 - Magenta B - Light cyan
The last two fields in the basic program are reversed from what
was in the magazine. Either it was a typo or something else was
incorrect. Whatever, the basic program works and have had no
problems.
You will have to use some other utility to set your border
colors, as the basic program does not set the border color. I
don't know if this is possible with Ver. 2 Lotus or not.
I have included a utility that I use called SCRCOLOR. Think it
is a very good piece of software.
Hope you find this useful. Jon Olson - Waukee, Ia.
