This allows the user to specify his/her colour preferences for the screen.
The numbers are IBM-PC Mode 3 colour attributes on DOS and OS/2.
Colours are made up of a foreground colour, a background colour, a flash and
a brightness value. Values are :-
Black 0 Flashing 1
Blue 1 Static 0
Green 2
Cyan 3
Red 4
Magenta 5
Yellow 6 Extra bright 1
White 7 Low brightness 0
The complete colour is calculated as :-
foreground_colour +
background_colour * 16 +
brightness * 8 +
flashing * 128
eg: bright yellow on red is 6 + (4 * 16) + (1 * 8) + (0 * 128)
Obviously, if you only have a mono display these values will bear no
relationship with the actual colours.
NOTE:
In the UNIX and other environments the colour values also change radically
to reflect the machine capabilities.
