I believe you're refering to the inability of TC++ (and I assume QBasic) to allow you to specify two colours. This is a problem with the CGA adapter and not with any of these programs. The background colour is always black for a true-blue CGA card and the foreground can be any of the 16 available colours (set with the setbkcolor() procedure). I think it is possible with other cards to remap the 0 (black) colour to something else; I think I did it with an old Tandy EX once...but then I think your article stated that you have a CGA. Not sure about the last part anyways. Hope this helps, M. A. Ketter P.S. Sorry didn't include previous article. Must have goofed that up. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "Sheep...they don't so much fly as plummet." | Monty Python's F.C.
