Rainbow will colorize key words and symbols in your text editor but you
need to tell it about your editor and the keywords and symbols you want
colored. It comes with a demo configuration but it most likely will not
work for your editor right out of the box (ie. archive <g>).
The starting row or column is the first row or column that contains
actual program text, not border characters, scrollbars or status
information. The same for the ending row and column.
1) Note the full path and name of your editor.
2) Note what color the normal text in your editor is.
colors.exe will show all colors and their associated numbers.
3) Note what row the text starts on, the top row is row 0
4) Note what row the text ends on. (remember, the top row is row 0)
5) Note what column the text starts on. The left column is column 0.
6) Note what column to text ends on.
7) Note the total number of columns on the screen. Including border
characters and scrollbars.
Now edit RB.INI with your editor and change the variables at the top of
the file to reflect the correct information for your editor.
The variables to change are:
editor= <- the full path and name of your editor with extension
text= <- the color number of the text in your editor
top= <- the first text row
bottom= <- the last text row
left= <- the first text column
right= <- the last text column
width= <- total columns on your screen
Now type 'RB RB.INI' at the DOS prompt and if everything was done
right, your editor will be invoked and you will be editing the rainbow
INItialization file. You can change the keywords and their colors to
taste, RB.DOC will aid in this.
Enjoy,
David A. Hattel
