- I just struck a problem that has bothered for a while. I want to be
- able to set the screen palette for my MastersPort 286 running MSDOS
- 5.0. Either from the keyboard directly as with the SupersPorts or
- through software. Both would, of course, be ideal. Now the problem.
-
- I know that the ZDS utility, MACHINE, has a command PALETTE[n] to do
- this, but when I run it I get a message that says that palette is an
- invalid parameter. The only thing I can think of that I am doing
- "differently" is that the version of MACHINE I am running was part of
- the MSDOS 4 that came with the machine itself.
-
- I really do miss being able to vary the palette from within any
- program as I could on the SupersPort.
-
- Any suggestions/solutions will be appreciated.
