Docs for Colors.com - screen attributes display utility
R.Trevithick, Sat 03-11-1989
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).
/h displays the values in hex (base 16).
/o displays the values in octal (base 8).
It displays in decimal (base 10) 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 7 for dim and 15 for normal would work for both...
