Re: Removing the VGA border color

Try this 2-line C program:

#include <stdio.h>
main() { puts ("\x1b[50m") ; }

Assembler gurus will want to translate this to a very short equivalent 
ASM source code.

This works only if ANSI.SYS or its equivalent is present.
BUT it is screen-hardware independent!!!
