- Remarks: Aurora Borealis is a screen color attribute utility
- which is used to assign foreground, background and
- border colors for RGB monitors. Version 2.10 will work
- properly on both a PC or a PCjr.
-
- IT REQUIRES THAT ANSI.SYS BE INSTALLED
-
- The major advantage of Aurora is that it can be
- used for user friendly menu selection (Format 1),
- and can be used as a command line processor for use in
- batch files (Format 2).
-
- Color selection is by number:
-
- [1] - Blue [5] - Magenta
- [2] - Green [6] - Yellow
- [3] - Cyan [7] - White
- [4] - Red [8] - Black
-
- To get the "light" shade of the same color, add 10 when
- you enter the corresponding color. For example, to get
- light blue, the color would be 11.
-
- Entering a "0" will bypass the attribute selection.
-
- Examples:
- 1) This example will call call up the complete user
- friendly selection menu:
-
- A>AURORA
-
- 2) This example will assign a background of blue,
- a foreground of bright yellow, and a border of cyan:
-
- A>AURORA 1 16 3
