STARTING THE PROGRAM
We think that this utility is very easy to use, but we may be wrong
start the program by typing COLMEN2 at the dos prompt. After the Begware
screens are done there will be a MAIN MENU.
You will be offered 8 choices as a BACKGROUND COLOR
You choose by pressing the corresonding key, Letters A - H.
The next menu will come up with the background color you selected
and a your next selection request. Choose a foregound color, once again
using letters A - H..
Now to check the color combinations a colored box will appear at the
top of the screen with the background color you chose and the foreground
color. Text will be in the box so you can see what your screen will look
like when you exit the program.
If the color is not correct then press N for no
If the color is correct then press Y for yes and the program will
exit to Dos.
By pressing N you will now have another choice , do you wish to go
back and reselect the background color. Pressing Y for yes will bring
you back to the main menu so you can start over again.
Pressing N will bring you back to the text color menu that you
last left.
Go thru the combinations until you have the colors you want.
The colors will remain active until you reboot the computer. You may want
to put the program in the autoexec.bat so it will start up everytime
your machine starts.
