Question:
Need help with color. Have programs written on a UNIX system
that display color using screen commands ("\x1B[2J" etc.) They
work fine on my lite version of borland which is dos based, but
when I try to compile them in a full windows version the commands
are printed to the screen. Could someone tell me how to display
color, blinking charecters etc in windows version?
Answer:
Add the ANSI.SYS driver to your CONFIG.SYS file.
