ChangeColor (CHGCLR)
v 1.0
(c) 1992 by Stuart J. Whitmore
This program is a simple tool to change color codes in Wildcat! 3.xx display
files. The basic concept is that you provide the old and new background
and foreground colors, and the program will make the changes. In this
first (only?) version, wildcards are not accepted. Hey, I need some sleep.
NOTE - Your use of this program implies that you agree with the following
statement: You, the end user of this software, assume all responsibility
for the results of such usage. No warranty or guarantee, express or
implied, is included with this software.
How to use it:
Step One: BACK UP THE FILE YOU PLAN TO MODIFY! I have tested this program
as extensively as I can think of, using any test condition I could dream up.
But that's just on my system, and I CANNOT guarantee that you will not
experience difficulty.
Step Two: Place the executable file (CHGCLR.EXE) in the same directory as
the file you wish to modify.
Step Three: Determine which color code you will replace.
Step Four: Determine which color code you will use as a replacement.
Step Five: Call the executable file from the command line, giving the
name of the file to be modified as a parameter. For example, if you are
modifying the file HELLO2.BBS, you would call this program as:
CHGCLR HELLO2.BBS
Step Six: Answer the questions that appear in the the program. You will
be asked for (in order): old background, old foreground, new background,
new foreground. Your responses to these must be in the range of 0 to 9 or
A to F. Do not worry about the @ symbol. For example, if you wanted to
change all text that appeared in high intensity red on a white background
to blinking high intensity green on a black background, you would answer
(in order): 7 C 8 A (don't worry about case, the program will take care
of that)
Step Seven: After the program terminates, verify that the changes are
correct.
