- PALS.COM
-
- PALS.COM is a utility program allowing an easy selection
- of the palette color values for the EGA. There are a
- fair number of similar programs available on the IBMHW
- and IBMSW; most of them require color numbers to be
- associated with each palette.
-
- I found it rather difficult to associate 64 values with
- the corresponding colors. So, after Mark Horvatich made
- his NEWFNT.COM system available in its last version
- (8-12-86), I decided to take advantage of the easy
- access to resident palette array available through it.
-
- PALS.COM does not even display the color numbers since
- you really do not need to know them. Your EGA palette
- is modified in the NEWFNT.COM resident space. If you
- want to preserve it for the future, you can save it on
- an executable file MYPAL.COM which can be invoked (after
- NEWFNT.COM has been loaded) from an autoxec.bat file if
- it represents your favorite color configuration. A
- sample MYPAL.COM file is included in this archive; it
- represents my current favorite of black on gray.
-
- You can have as many palette combinations available by
- simply renaming MYPAL.COM files created by PALS.COM.
-
- For those interested in the techniques used, the source
- program in assembler is available.
-
- Please, let me know of any problems by leaving message
- on the IBMHW at my user id.
