Hello !

I am trying to use colors under C. How can I show colors on the 
screen (something similar to the COLOR statement in Basic) ?. I 
have read the source code of the vidcontrol program (because 
you can obtain 16 colors when you execute the vidcontrol 
utility with the 'show' keyword), but I do not understand the 
sequences to obtain color.

Thanks in advance.
