- I'm new to C++, using Borland Turbo C++ for DOS version 3.0.
-
- I wrote a small program that used different text colors, and all my screen
- output was with putch() or cprintf(). When I tried to use cout, I lost the
- ability to set the colors with textcolor(). Surely there's a way to use cout,
- with it's much simpler syntax, and still have control over colors, but I can't
- find it, either in the manual or the on-line help.
-
- Any assistance w/b greatly appreciated.
