Docs for Colors.com - screen attributes display utility
R. Trevithick, 1/4/87
This program simply displays all screen attributes with the
values of the attribute bytes which produced them. It's handy
when you have to write code to be run on multiple types of
monitors, or when you simply need to know the attribute value
your display hardware needs to produce 'bright cyan'.
There are only three options:
/b displays on both monitors (if present).
/d displays the values in decimal (base 10).
/o displays the values in octal (base 8).
It displays in hex by default.
An example of it's use would be figuring out the best value to
use for dim and normal video on both a monochrome and an ega
display. Running the program with the /b option (if both monitors are
attached to the same machine) would show that a value of 07h for dim and
0fh for normal would work for both...
