CRT is a small machine language program that allows you to change the
border, background and foreground colors. There are three subroutines
in CRT. They are:
BORDER - which sets the border color.
CLEAR - which clears the screen and sets new foreground
and background colors.
COLOR - now just as fast as Clear but it does not wipe the
text off the screen as it changes attributes.
MONO - which allows you to set the mono screen
to a new attribute
The color set values for the CGA video system are:
0 - black 8 - dark gray
1 - blue 9 - light blue
2 - green A - light green
3 - cyan B - light cyan
4 - red C - light red
5 - magenta D - light magenta
6 - brown E - yellow
7 - white F - bright white
To use CRT to set a mono screen, you would use:
CRT MONO parm1 parm2 <ENTER>
where parm1 is the foreground and parm2 is the background.
valid options for mono are:
MONO 7 0 - for a normal screen
MONO 1 0 - for all underlined characters
MONO 0 7 - for reverse video characters
MONO F 0 - for bright characterson a black screen
To use CRT to set borders, you would run it as follows:
CRT BORDER parm1 <ENTER>
where parm1 is one of the color set values from the chart above.
To use the other features, type in one of the following:
CRT CLEAR parm1 parm2 <ENTER>
or
CRT COLOR parm1 parm2 <ENTER>
where parm1 is the foreground color that you wish to use and parm2 is
the background color.
As an example, to clear the screen and set the colors to green text on
a black background, you would use:
CRT CLEAR 2 0 <ENTER>
There must be only one space between the command and the parameters.
I hope that you get lots of use out of this small utility and let me
hear your comments or suggestions for improvements.
