	Is there a way from C (right now Lattice 2) to change the color
attribute of the characters being printed.  I can't find any DOS calls to
do this.  The only ways I can think of are
	1) send all i/o through a procedure which calls the dos call
	   which lets you specify the attribures.
	2) write a procedure to intercept all screen i/o and add color
one is not really good because i would like to use printf.
two is a big pain.

any help would be appreciated.


Does anyone know anything about Wizard or the new Microsoft C.
How Unix compatible are they?  How are the MS-DOS interfaces?
speed?  size?  Do they support large memory models?

					thanks in advance.
