All the responses suggested using the ansi.sys device driver, and setting the colors by printing the appropriate escape characters. If anyone knows of any way to easily accomplish this (without using the dos call, which is limited to one char at a time and won't handle integers unless they are sprintf'ed to a string) I am still interested in hearing it. On a different subject, I just saw an ad for Norton Utilitys 3.0 At the bottom had a little note there was a little note about upgrades. It said that upgrades are $25 , and then follwing that there was one more little note. It offered a registered legal copy to all pirates who send in their pirated copies for the same $25 as the upgrade fee. I just thought it was intersesting. -- Yosef Gold ...{philabs,cucard,pegasus,ihnp4,rocky2}!aecom!gold
